Lucia Monge is a Peruvian artist whose work focuses on interspecies relationships. Some of her recent projects include adapting and re-performing Darwin's experiments, mycoremediation rituals in urban tree pits, and a "fungi broadcast" about deforestation in Peru. For the past ten years she has organized Plantón Móvil, a yearly “walking forest” performance that leads to the creation of public green areas in cities such as Lima, Providence, Minneapolis, London, and New York. Monge has shown her work internationally, including at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Lima, Whitechapel Gallery, Queens Museum, and the United Nations Climate Change Conference.
