About


ten (The Emergence Network) is 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, Bayo Akomolafe. We do this work by instigating collaborative, creative processes in trans-local interventions as a cultural practice. 
 
Our shared vision is a political emancipatory project of interdependent networks and ecologies of practice interested in shifting our ontological gaze beyond the staid confines of justice and inclusion. By engaging in deep inquiry, conversations, and experimental processes, we aim to nurture an underground movement at the end of hope. 
 
Since 2016, the network has been birthing curious events and encounters around the world – in person and online – around various topics including climate change, borders & immigration, radical hospitality, leadership & activism, and making sanctuary in the midst of systems collapse.
