You’re Going to Die: The Podcast

The Race Track w/Aerin Dunford

Join host Ned Buskirk in conversation with Aerin Dunford, Lead Weaver of The Emergence Network (ten), 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. This episode is released in anticipation of, and as invitation to, ten's Becoming Monster Festival, happening October 30th though November 3rd, 2024, a virtual, hybrid and in-person components hosted with 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).
