About the event
BE·COM·ING: is a lecture-ish series that celebrates the many ways a life takes shape. Each gathering invites a local voice — artists, organizers, neighbors, dreamers — to share the story of their journey: the turns taken, the lessons learned, the detours and discoveries that led them to who they are today.
