Hyphae NFT Show [$2100]
Hyphae NFT Art Exhibition originated as an in person art exhibition in San Francisco during the month of October. Hyphae, defined as the branching filaments that make up the mycelium of a fungus, represent the beginnings of communal art bridge building and value shifting. Hosted in a former bank building, Hyphae touched on the extractive value structures disrupting life systems and facilitated perspective shifts to collectively redefine worth. The exhibit emphasized the importance of creativity and collaboration and how blockchain technology is supporting this value shift. We onboarded many during this time and collaborated with a lot of amazing people. Our goal in bringing this show into a virtual experience on December 21st is to share our origin stories from Kindness Grocery Cooperative (the original cooperative) to Bath Party (a series of events that Kindness Grocery Cooperative put on to bring food, clothes, hygienic products, showers and crypto education to houseless communities in Oakland, Berkeley and LA) to where we are today with Kin DAO. We would like to allow more people to participate so we may expand the network of mycelium we are cultivating while giving tribute to all who have contributed throughout the last 2 years.
Our plan is to cultivate a beautiful Kin DAO website that will allow access to two different virtual galleries. One temple that hosts our previous NFTs which were minted on opensea for Bath Party back in March 2021 alongside a new gallery on Paris displaying our new NFT project. The ETH temple will represent our linage story, the history of how we came to be, a gratitude to all the labor it took us to get here. The NEAR gallery will represent our present and future - the concepts we are developing and the realities we are building towards. For us this is an important and deeply symbolic project. We have worked tirelessly for the last two years to find solutions for ourselves and our communities. Today we are beginning to see the fruits of our labor in the types of bonds we have cultivated and the opportunities that are gently unfolding. We must bow to all we have done before we move forward. We also recognize our story is not fully clear to everyone at this moment and we would like to change that so more can connect with us.

What better vantage point to learn than a place where I could experience many projects at once?
