Becoming-Water: Flows of Generosity

There is a river beneath our feet. An undulating current in our bones. A story older than the fences of empire and more mischievous than the maps that pretend to name the world. This current below is the why… is the how… of our invitation to you now.

In a time when politics curdles and institutions gasp for breath, we remember that water – the ancient fugitive, the slithering trickster – is still shaping valleys, still carving out the possible. ten is such a valley. A murmuration of minor gestures. A sanctuary where grief meets creativity, and where failure is not a mistake but an acceptance of our shared incompleteness.

This April, we invite you to join us in our humble effort to raise funds for ten’s work via the grassroots fundraiser, Becoming-Water: Flows of Generosity. We are crafting an underground scaffolding in preparation for the in-person seasonal festival, Liquid Cartographies: Reshaping the Banks of the Possible. We are growing our core operations team by hiring a partnership and relationship tender. We continue to nurture a mycelial commons of translocal co-practice with An Infection, a fellowship of cracks. We wish to raise $15,000USD over the course of the next six weeks. Your contribution – however small – is not a coin in a slot. It is a drop in a river that already knows where it is going.

Become-water with us by making a gift of any size or becoming a monthly contributor to ten as part of our seasonal campaign.
