Project Report
Onboarding women and trans Brazilian artists
Project Status: Completed
Project Accounting: The main objective of this project was to bring cis women, trans women, non binaries and transvestite Brazilian artists to Mintbase (NEAR blockchain). The artists had to mint their artwork to be able to participate in the FEMINU (Female NFTs Universe) Exhibition that is taking place in the Museu.xyz in Cryptovoxels (http//:galeria.museu.xyz ) until March 22th 2022. I intended, also, in this project to encourage the habit of buying NFT and start a collection.
Updated Project Timeline:
Project completion occurred in March 7th, a day before the FEMINU exhibition, delayed because of an unexpected heath issue. I got dengue disease and was unable to work for 9 days.
Highlights and analytics:
There was a high number of wallets opened at the beginning – 35 in 9 days!
The first two wallets (majoryyokomizo.near and laurafaria.near) I still didn’t have the Mintbase links, so I send from my wallet 0,1 to each one and then when the links came, the artists received and payed me back.
Three artists reported me a problem with the second link (1 Near) and I sent a second link. when the fourth artist reported the same problem, I approached @marianeu and it was decided that there would be no second submission for any artist, which was communicated to them. No other problems were reported.
There is 48 new opened wallets that have entered the Gambiarra store. Three of them only had the wallets but didn’t minted on Mintbase, and talking to @marianeu I got permission to send the links for them to join Gambiarra and Mintbase:

Of these artists somosum.near opened the wallet, minted two works, participated in another exhibition, Semana22, did not request the 1 Near and did nothing else. Perhaps there was a lack of understanding of the project.
Another artist opened the wallet, minted 2 works but did nothing else because has frequent psiquiatric issues, so I decided alone to include this artist in FEMINU and I am glad I did it. It was an exception, but I think I had a fair motivation.
Of the 48 new wallets, fotodalice.near was the only one who just opened the wallet. I think this result is a good achievement considering the initial goal of 50 new artists doing Onboarding and the fact that I have been sick with dengue disease.
Considering this, the payout wil be for 45 onboarding artists at 10 USD each.
Learnings:
I owe the success of the proposal, among other things, to the fact that artists who did not fulfill all the required steps would not participate in FEMINU Exhibition at http//:galeria.museu.xyz (open until march 22).
I would also like to highlight the quality of the entering artists and their intense participation in the Gambiarra community and Mintbase ecosystem. There have been artists who have minted as many as 20 works, others are already in Gambiarra DAO and also planning to make proposals.
Another issue to note is the fact that almost 100 percent of the Onboarding was done with artists who were not in the NFT universe, having minted within Mintbase, in the Gambiarra store, their first NFT. I consider this a great success from an artistic and social point of view as a large portion of the artists are trans and non-binary women who were finding few opportunities to showcase their artwork. They found hope here and it is visible in their attitude of gratitude for the opportunity offered.
I would like to end by thanking Mintbase for their encouragement, which made all the difference for most of the artists who would have no other way to have been able to mint their first NFT, as well as for the trust placed in me. I want to thank @marianeu for all the encouragement and for solving issues even during her vacation. I also want to thank the whole group of artists Gambiarra who welcomed the artists in a very special way, as well as @macieira and his significant project of exhibition Semana22 in commemoration of 100 years of the Week of Modern Art of 22 that also represented an incentive for several artists who entered and participated in an exhibition even before the FEMINU was opened.
Thank you all!
