METAMORFOSIS Exploring Queer Ecology & Degrowth

Help us bring Metamorfosis - Exploring Queer Ecology & Degrowth to life! We are the "Degrowth in Action" collective rooted in Barcelona, and we need your support to make this transformative event happen from September 29th to October 1st 2023 at Can Masdeu, Barcelona.

DEGROWTH - QUEER ECOLOGY - ARTIVISM - DIRECT ACTION- EMBODIED ECOLOGY - ALTERNATIVE KINSHIPS - ECOSEXUALITY - SOLAR PUNK - MULTI-SPECIES JUSTICE - ANTI-COLONIALITY

Our collective is driven by the belief that the current paradigm of social, ecological, and economic deterioration is no longer sustainable. We envision alternative worlds where a good life is accessible to all (non-)humans. We challenge conventional wisdom and breathe life into the principles of degrowth, urging societal transformation.

Metamorfosis is a dynamic three-day celebration, a safe and nurturing haven for the LGBTQIA+ community and friends. Together, we will explore uncharted possibilities, forging novel pathways to sustainable livelihoods and fighting for a more equitable and joyful future. In defiance of the dominant growth paradigm, our endeavours focus on fostering ecological equilibrium, cultivating social justice, and nurturing personal well-being. We dismantle boundaries and foster resource-sharing beyond exploitation, embracing nature's complexity.

We invite everyone to contribute their voices to this festivity of transformation. Action-oriented workshops alongside a cultural program will become stepping stones toward a future that beckons with alluring scenarios. Queering becomes our modus as we join forces with the broader degrowth movement. In a time of crises and destabilization, small islands of social coherence can shift the entire system. It's up to us, the new generations, to build upon the ruins left by capitalism and create these islands of coherence, expanding them to reach all dimensions of society.

The festivity will take place in Can Masdeu, a historical space renowned for ecological regeneration, activism, and grassroots education. For over twenty years, it has cultivated the culture of care as a form of resistance in Barcelona through its residence and community garden in Collserola Park. Can Masdeu provides the necessary infrastructure for workshops and activities, including a community kitchen, social centre, garden, forest, stage, and dome.

HELP US embark on this transformative journey, birthing new possibilities and cultivating change. Together, we challenge the status quo, unravel entrenched norms, and beckon forth audacious visions that disseminate and enact utopias.

Your support will go directly towards the expenses involved in organizing the festivity, including venue, workshops, materials, performer fees, and logistical arrangements. Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference. By supporting the Metamorfosis - Exploring Queer Ecology & Degrowth, you become an essential part of this movement towards inclusive, just, and regenerative modes of existence.

Join us in realizing this visionary event! Let's create a future where our collective actions shape a world that embraces diversity, justice, and the well-being of all beings. Donate today and help us make Metamorfosis a vibrant reality!
