Touki Delphine’s Oh, Alexander is a series of open studio multidisciplinary presentations. In these informal, eclectic evenings, Touki Delphine highlight elements from one of their key sources of inspiration; Andrea Wulf’s ‘The Invention of Nature’ about the life and work of Alexander Von Humboldt. They link the inspiration to their recent work, and explore the distorted balance between nature, humans and technology. Oh Alexander evenings are in collaboration with compelling specialists and other creatives whose work relates to the theme of the edition.
This second episode of Oh Alexander takes place at Wednesday 22nd 8.30 pm. We are starting with a performance of Transmission and the evening will include a presentation from assistant professor Vasilis Kokkoris (followed by a Q& A)
Vasilis Kokkoris After receiving his PhD from the University of British Columbia (UBC) on microbial ecology and completing his postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Ottawa and at Agriculture/Agri-Food Canada, Vasilis Kokkoris obtained a position as assistant professor at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. His work centers on microbial ecology and genetics, focusing particularly on one of the most widespread symbiotic organisms on our planet known as mycorrhizal fungi. His research and photomicrography, demonstrating the unique aspects of their cell organization and network complexity, have won multiple global awards and have brought attention to the unseen soil microbial world.
