The True Legacy · Instamould
Around the world, mould in rented housing is a critical social and political issue. At stake are questions about who is responsible for indoor fungal growth, what kinds of risks to human health it poses, and
what its presence reveals about broader economic relations between landlords and tennents. We are currently developing research proposals, developing new methods for tracking indoor ecologies, and co-designing new tools for documenting fungal growth with community members.
