Let’s meet!
There is a lot going on in the world. We cannot do it all. Not to mention: the times are urgent… we must slow down. That being said, we would still like you to know about some of the electrifying, worlds-worlding, side-eye-glancing, upside-down and inside-out events and occurrences that ten is hosting, supporting or uplifting.
31st Annual International Roundtable
{Báyò event}
WHO: 31st Annual International Roundtable
WHEN: Wednesday, October 9, 2024 | 4:30pm – 6:30pm EDT
WHERE: Macalster College | St. Paul| | Minnesota New York | U.S.A.
Inspired by the idea of slow curation, we ask how we may stretch our collective attention span, to create and inhabit an extended flow of compassion, creativity and curiosity, of belonging in this time of global turmoil. In trying to understand belonging’s multivalences and messiness, we invite the community to think beyond human-centered frameworks. The prevailing sense of despair might not be new to humanity, but what looms larger is the constriction of our human imagination by the imperatives of capital, the nation-state, and the technologies harnessed by them.

{ten Kinship Event}
WHO: Ecoversities Alliance
WHEN: Thursday, October 24th – Sunday, October 27th, 2024
WHERE: Online everywhere
Join our friends at Ecoversities Alliance for the Re-Imagining Education Conference, an annual four-day online gathering, convening people across geographies, knowledge systems & experiences. The conference is an invitation to explore the wisdom & knowledge of the ecosystems below the surface as a metaphor for learning. How can we compost our failures into fertile soil? How can we invite wisdom from underground ecosystems to surface in education practices? How can we nurture our soils to regenerate the damage that the education system has brought to our minds, bodies, & spirits?

becoming MONSTER
{ten public event}
WHEN: October 30th (2:00pm GMT) – November 3rd (11:00pm GMT), 2024
WHERE: Online | Hybrid | Translocal In-Person Events
Becoming Monster is a five-day festival with virtual, hybrid and in-person components hosted by ten and a strange ecology of friends and partners from around the planet. This event 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). It will take place in a season associated with a porosity between realms, celebrations of reunion between the living and the dead, congress with the underworld and the ancestors. There will be a schedule of online offerings, as well as self-organized in-person gatherings and events in different places around the world. Some of these in situ events may welcome virtual participation.

Smoke & Mirrors: Undefining Perceptual Reality
{ten Kinship Event}
WHO: School of Liminal Arts
WHEN: February 21 – February 26, 2025
WHERE: Santa Fe | New Mexico | U.S.A.
Smoke & Mirrors is a courageous body of work that extends beyond personal transformation and initiates participants to move through personal transmutation and into intrapersonal transfiguration. In our unfurling, we move off the map and wind our way through the Hall of Mirrors – piercing through illusion, releasing fixation, dropping masks, moving into and with the Void, finding camaraderie with the undefinable, the more than human, revealing, releasing, rebuilding without walls.
