Becoming Monster
Becoming Monster is a five-day festival for grieving the losses that come with living into the end-times & playing with ideas of fabulation, imagination and questioning: what else might the human be in our crumbling, entangled, pulsating, animist worlds.

About
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 (non-human and human alike) 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 October 30th - November 3rd, 2024 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. This will be a highly participatory experience shaped and in-bodied by those who make offerings during our time together.

We offer a sliding scale based on your relative financial standing. The huge range between the scale is meant to reflect not only the incredible disparity in economic conditions between different parts of the world but also the historical reality of stolen wealth in many different forms generally from the so-called Global South to the North. Ultimately, the payment system is designed for those with more access to wealth to cover the costs of those with less access to wealth; we trust your discernment of how you personally fit into this global economic context.
Medium Access to Wealth: $150 - $300 USD
High Access to Wealth: $300 - $500 USD
Low Access to Wealth: $5 - $50 USD
Pay-it-Forward: $500 USD + (financially support someone else’s participation)
High Access to Wealth: $300 - $500 USD
Low Access to Wealth: $5 - $50 USD
Pay-it-Forward: $500 USD + (financially support someone else’s participation)
As you decide what amount to pay, we ask that you not only consider your present-day financial situation governed by income but also factors including:
- historical discrimination faced by your peoples;
- your financial wealth (do you have retirement savings?);
- your access to income and financial wealth, both current and anticipated (how easily could you earn more income compared to other people in your country and in the world? do you expect to receive an inheritance?);
- people counting on your financial livelihood including dependents and community members; and the socio-economic conditions of your locale (relative to other places in your country and in the world).
