Maria Pinto was born in Jamaica, grew up in South Florida, and is now based in Boston where she’s an active member of the Boston Mycological Club. She’s an ardent mushroom hunter/naturalist who organizes forays for people of color in the Northeast and beyond. She’s been reading, teaching, writing for decades, and her first book, just published by The University of North Carolina Press, is garnering rave reviews.
In this presentation, Maria will read from that book Fearless, Sleepless, Deathless: What Fungi Taught Me about Nourishment, Poison, Ecology, Hidden Histories, Zombies, and Black Survival. She will talk about the inspirations for her book, and what she found when she went looking for Black mycophilia at home and abroad.
