Our current ecological crisis is entangled through many systems and scales. We begin by tracing its narratives through one of its first writers, Enheduanna, and a particular myth of hers, Ebih and Inanna. Beginning from this ancient myth of victorious destruction and feminine rage, we reexamine where over time, her landscape has transformed, opened, and rotted. As it now feeds new meaning for fungal growth and mycelial networks, it reminds us that (life) forms are processes rather than static things. Searching within mycelial memory and the practice of ‘foraging’ found objects from our lived experiences, we are reexamining the broken landscapes from Sumerian mythos and our own lives.
