What if the way we respond to the crisis is part of the crisis?

About us

ten is a planetary network of care and inquiry gesturing towards new assemblages of response-ability during moments when the ways that we think about and address the troubling crises of our times are increasingly a part of those crises. We are a fugitive, underground network of social artists seeking to create new openings to age-old problems. We aim to disrupt dominant modes of perception, engagement, and responsiveness in a time of crisis by disturbing modern notions of justice, power, and human agency. This is the work of postactivism, a concept developed by ten’s visionary founder, Báyò Akómoláfé. We do this work by instigating collaborative, creative processes in translocal interventions as a cultural practice. Our shared vision is of a political emancipatory project of interdependent networks and ecologies of practice interested in shifting our ontological gaze beyond the staid confines and moral purview of justice, diversity, representation and inclusion. By engaging in deep inquiry, conversations, and experimental processes, we aim to nurture an underground movement at the end of hope.

    We are thrilled to share that the Offerings page for the Becoming Monster Festival is now live on our website. We will be updating the page with more contributors and their offerings over the coming days. The list is still growing! Join us for Becoming Monster, a five-day festival taking place from October 30th to November 3rd, 2024. This festival is a space held for grieving the losses that come with living into the end-times AND playing with ideas of fabulation, imagination and questioning: what else might the human be in our crumbling, entangled, pulsating, animist world(s). We are looking forward to the experiments, practices, rituals and creations that will come forth from this strange endeavor. Explore the online, hybrid and in-person offerings here: https://lnkd.in/gqfsu9qP and join us by registering for the festival.

    Join our #Monsters #Circle in Berlin, at tak Theater Aufbau Kreuzberg, on Wedneday 30 October from 7 to 9pm. The Monsters Circle organized by One Resilient Earth is part of the #Becoming #Monster festival, organized by The Emergence Network. The festival is an ecology of spaces to feel, share, experiment and practice opening ourselves to the unknown, the unthinkable and unsayable. The aim of the festival is not to identify or name monsters, nor to redraw hard lines around the right and the good. It is an exploration into a different materiality of grief and care in a time of loss, a celebration of our failures to become, an invitation to reimagine, re-feel and re-intuit what else it might mean to be human beyond the carceral narratives of white modernity. The #Monsters #Circle is a courageous, vulnerable and warm space to share all the emotions that we feel as we see ourselves transforming and shape-shifting, either voluntarily or unvoluntarily, to live in a world of #climate #instability. We will explore the emotions of becoming monsters, or feeling monstruous, in the sense that we cannot quite grasp who and what we are becoming in real time. We will welcome all #emotions, and will encourage participating monsters or monsters-in-the-making to share their emotions through any media: spoken word, performance, visual or multimedia arts… It's likely to be weird and experimental. Are you in? https://lnkd.in/eE38GpS3

    becoming MONSTER is excited to offer an improvisatory conversation between friends and writers David Abram and Sophie Strand that will explore what bubbles, gurgles, drifts and decomposes in the wider stream of the monstrous. This unscripted session is animated by their shared desires to ponder together the monstrous goodness of being a body, an earthly animal. David and Sophie’s work intersects around reflections into the matter of becoming ever more bodily, more creaturely, often asking questions like: how do the ways other beings enter into or colonize us, or the way we couple or conjoin ourselves with other animals, plants, and technologies alter or torque our perceptions? How do navigational or biotechnologies shift and trouble the boundaries of what we consider mind, spirit, and body? How is thinking not an activity of our brains or bodies alone but a process constituted by our sensorial reciprocity with this living earth, with weather, climate and atmosphere? Hosted by Krista Dragomer and Nico Wolf, we enter this creaturely convergence curious about what becoming animal, becoming cyborg, becoming monster might mean in the context of current world events. Join us to explore together what forms of becoming might unexpectedly monster our perceptions as we traverse, with neither plan nor map, this teaming terrain.

    Weirdness as deviance from normative orientations Weirdness as an evolutionary strategy Weirdness as adaptation Weirdness as emergence Weirdness as experimentation Weirdness as survival Weirdness as a rejection of the status quo Weirdness as freedom Weirdness as becoming monster I'm buzzing with nerves and excitement to share that I will be contributing a session for the Becoming Monster Festival on "Re-weirding". A good friend reminded me that it is the artist who is most moved by their own work and process. In typical fashion, I chose to explore a theme that would invite my own unravelling/composting. I'm sitting with the ick and the worms, and it's feeling like this is exactly where I need to be. This offering on "Re-weirding" is inspired by a personal thesis I've been exploring called "how do I love an invasive species?" (more about this on the Liberation Maasi's blog bit.ly/LiberationMaasis) If you'd like to be in practice with me on October 30, consider joining. Also, I'm just one of 60+ incredible contributors who will be facilitating and holding space for fugitive becomings through the The Emergence Network (TEN). TEN feels like home to me in so many ways. It is truly an honor to be part of this experience. Please consider checking out other offerings apart and beyond mine. Join here: https://lnkd.in/gHK8Qmw9
