During one and a half years living with kombucha, the author followed it across a journey that diverged from a disciplinary point of view in favor of a “global design” (Papanek) approach that embraces co-dependencies (Haraway, Tsing). This journey spanned several domains: gastronomy and food, health, textile design, social practices. It was the occasion to find out how different cultures might be embodied by the heterogeneous kombucha community and its various locations: from bio-hack lab to the kitchen, art gallery, design school, and brewery lab. What may this Symbiotic Culture Of Bacteria and Yeast teach us—humans—about our ways of collaborating with, cultivating, exploiting or caring for the living beings we eat and/or use to make everyday objects? Could kombucha SCOBY provide a guide to shifting ways of understanding and performing our way of life, or to phrase it another way: to initiate a cultural revival?
