Specific Project:
The event that closes the Demonstra Artist Residency has a series of activities that will take place on May 21st, 2022. Some of these activities already had Near’s support in the previous months (March and April proposal link) will continue until completion. Among them we have:
ONLINE PROMOTION AT UMBIGO MAGAZINE
Virtual promotion action that will have the support of one of the main Contemporary Art magazines in Portugal called Umbigo. We believe it is extremely important to link this event to the main Portuguese art magazine, which also has a reach throughout Europe (https://umbigomagazine.com/pt/). With this possibility of disclosure we intend to strengthen and disseminate the Demonstra project and the entire team of professionals and artists involved in the Artist Residency.

2. [PROPOSAL] SOCIAL NETWORKS DEMONSTRA - POSTING PLAN
Impact and value:
We expect to grow Demonstra’s followers having as its central objective the development of an inclusive and accessible communication to all audiences with functional diversity. Another important value for Demonstra Project is to spread the artistic production of people with disabilities in the visual arts and social networks, in order to value and spread more and more such professionals and inclusive projects, aggregating these values and concepts to the Near community.
In the month of May we will have a seminar and an online exhibition and we will be focused on their propagation.
Metrics for measuring success:
- In the last month we had growth in the accounts reached, accounts engaged and total followers compared to the last month. We have progressively increased our reach and we intend to continue at this pace of growth.
-
We grew 4.7% in accounts reached, 2.1% in terms of interaction and 0.4% in number of followers. We aim to reach more followers with more posts and interactions in the coming months.
-
With a person ( @yuli07 ) dedicated to social media management and regular boost, we intend to improve these numbers, reaching more followers and highlighting the importance of funding and community Near.
-
We are publicizing our partnership with near on our networks and tagging all our posts with #nearprotocol and #near.
Estimated timeline and achievement milestones:
-
Produce 4 weekly posts on Instagram;
-
Weekly boosts with investments of 20 to 25 USD per week. We believe it is necessary to invest a little more in boosting some posts on instagram to continue to reach more people and interactions. We intend to continue the actions of last month, improving the focus and reach of our project;
-
We also intend to create greater engagement and interaction with the audience that already follows us (10.9m), maintaining consistency and regularity in publications, through the creation of teasers created by @lucterra from CUDO DAO;
-
We will start to publicize the seminar schedule, highlighting the invited participants. We’ll show you who they are and a little bit of their bio
-
We will have an online exhibition in 21 May where the artists’ works will be spread out in the virtual spaces of 5 partners. We will publish posts about each of these partners making a little introduction of who they are.
-
We will make 3 newsletters throughout the month. One will have the entire seminar program and a presentation by the participants. In the other we will talk about the online exhibition and the exhibition partners. in the third we will focus on the resident artists who will participate in the exhibition

3. [PROPOSAL] Demonstra Workshops
Demonstra Workshops is an educational project that aims to develop virtual workshops in the field of visual arts that can contribute to the re-signification of concepts and processes about bodies and non-normative experiences in art. They will be taught by artists, researchers, and educators, with or without disabilities, who address issues pertinent to art and body diversity.
They will be recorded and edited with the collaboration of CUDO DAO, translated into Brazilian Sign Language, and will be freely available in Demonstra’s Youtube Channel.
Demonstra Workshops intends to be a branch of our Demonstra DAO that will seek to disseminate knowledge through art education by means of subjects and professionals who work with themes pertinent to dissident corporeality (functional, gender and diasporic diversity, etc).

Her artisticlanguage is the production of experiments in self-portraiture, developing investigations the particularities of her body, read under the aspect of disability. Lua presents herself as an artistic-political-pedagogical being proposing reflections about which real and enchanted places she inhabits and operates.
