Hello, creatives!

It was a nice and inspiring experience to read and get to know a little more about Near Creatives ecosystem members. that said, let me introduce myself — but, before, a disclaimer paraphrasing I don’t really know who: "I didn’t have time to write a short presentation, so it’s going to be a long one."

MINI-BIO
I’m @bagadefente, poet, publisher and artist-etc. from Brazil, living in Botucatu/SP.

I’ve studied Film and Video (2004-2006) and got a Visual Arts degree last year, but I consider myself a self-taught experimental artist who works with several media, languages and supports, all of them connected through the Poetics of Chance — the conscious use of randomness and the unexpected on creative process; more than a theory or group of techniques, to me this is a statement, an approach on art-making. On a thematic level, I explore the boundaries between memory and fiction, mixing reflections over human relationships, politics and the occulture to create my autofictional experimental pieces.

I’m also a cultural producer, with experiences with audiovisual, literature and creative writing events, specially a film club (Oficine-se) and a poetry gathering (Sarau Akangatu) I held from 2018 to 2020. With the pandemic, the second became online and, two years later, at the end of this month we’re gonna have our presential return to celebrate one year of the release of my first book of poems, later minted as NFT.

As an visual artist, I had my video poems exhibited in more than 10 countries over the last years, but, besides my Cinema and Visual Arts studies, my main passion is Literature, specially poetry, and that’s why, even without planning or even knowing that at a first moment, I became a bookmaker and, later on, an indie publisher. So, nowadays I’m more dedicated to independent publications through NADA∴Studio Criativo, a hybrid of a multimedia creation studio (created by myself in 2007) and indie micro-publisher house (with my first handcrafted book in 2015, but “officially” since 2020, when it stopped being a “one man studio” with the arrival of @aandz).

I started in the cryptoworld and NFTs through Tezos chain in March, 2021, got a little away from the art part for personal reasons, but keep studying blockchain and cryptos until come back on January, 2022 on the first wave of Gambiarra, then just a store on Mintbase. In March I made part of the foundation of the Writer’s Guild, in which I’m since then an active council member.

I’m also close and had collaborated with NomadeLabel, but at this moment my main interest is to help build and discover new ways for writers to create, publish and monetize our works using the actual and future web3 tools, that’s why I’m dedicating all I’m able to make the Writer’s Guild DAO and community stronger.

I’ve been thinking in create a NADA∴Studio Criativo DAO, focused on phygital publishing and literary events, but I don’t really have time to dedicated to this ATM, so I’m studying, talking and learning more about this, and that’s why this discussion is very relevant to me.

On a personal level, I’m a father of two growing-up boys, my astrological main set is Capricorn, Cancer and Aquarius and in my (rare) spare I like to take care of my garden and plants.
