Proposal Funding Request FEMINU DAO September 22
Hey, Creatives Community! @creativesdao-council
After the great success of the events of FEMINU in August, with 355 visitors at our opening’s event, bringing the parcel to the top 20 of Voxels Trending,with great visibility of the Near NFTs, mostly new ones minted especially for the events, we are happy to support significant projects to the Near community for September, whose theme covers sustainability of DAOs, support between DAOs and opening up the Near community to increase gender, race and disability inclusion, plus a large amount, as always, of Near’s NFTs on exhibition, most minted especially for the events taking place in the FEMINU Gallery at Voxels.
Summary of the proposals:
For this month we’ll have another historical moment to be achieved inside Near, by FEMINU DAO, which is the first onboarding movement of indigenous women Brazilian artists within the Near network, intending to hold the first exhibition of contemporary women Brazilian indigenous art inside Voxels. The importance of this event is to give voice to our origins, our history, demonstrating our respect for Indigenous artists and the fundamental role that Indigenous art plays in our artistic production. There will be three artists, among them, the first trans “cacica” (female transgender tribal chief). We will also have a chat in the Talking to FEMINU project, with PachaPinta about the experience of being the first Brazilian woman indigenous artist in the Near community and about Abya Yala (how the original people who are in the Americas call these territories).
Giovana Goretti, PhD, an international researcher, specialist in the sector of elaboration of socio-cultural projects and fundraising, will continue her Fundraising Workshop for DAOs II, Intermediate level, bringing value to the community, to help DAOs to begin their way to sustainability. This project had several registrations (13) last month, however some could not participate due to the day/time of the classes, which led Giovanna to think of a recorded course beginning this month, that will be available for an accessible cost (5Near), also aiming at our sustainability.
There will be two events promoted by Pantera Radio, fruit of the work of several trans artists, one of them at the opening of the exhibitions. This is a quite important movement, proposed by @l3v1at4, a non binarie artist, together with @Uru, a trans artist, that will bring up the Pantera Radio to the Near community. When the FEMINU Exhibition happened, last March there was only one trans artist. Since then, FEMINU is accompanying the still shy number of trans people in the ecosystem. Bringing Pantera Radio will bring a great dissemination to Near as well as publicize the artists’ work.
We will also have 3 more exhibitions. One of them, an interesting initiative by @cleusaraven and @dazo, is Multi Collab that brings interactivity between 8 artists from Near, including the organizers who will also make a collab work for the exhibition flyer; the FEMINU honors honoring highlights of the Near community, will honor INA DAO, buying 200 USD in artworks from the INA DAO store in Mintbase and those arts will be showed in the top fool of the FEMINU Gallery, and the last exhibition we’ll be derived from a beautiful bounty named Traces with 100 USD in prizes, that will be posted as soon as the project is approved.
There will be another chat In the Talking to FEMINU project, with Severa Paraguaçu, about the experience of being a judge in a successful bounty in Near community where we introduced a rule in which artists were asked to describe their works as a form of inclusion for the visually impaired, a simple task that proved we are still not prepared for inclusion, we will also talk about the issues of anti-capacitism, in which Severa is an expert.
At last, we would like to announce that due to the uniqueness of the SONORO exhibition we have decided to keep it for another month on the first floor of the FEMINU Gallery.
About councils:
Last month we made the option of not choosing a third council and distribute incentives to some members to help with the council’s works. It was a good experience but which proved to be insufficient to meet the workload of a council and also considering the fact that yet another member had to leave the DAO due to personal problems, we decided to choose a new council for October, maintain in September a distribution of tasks paying 200USD for @biavictal and @cleusaraven, each, Mayra will take over the extra work and for that reason will receive 100USD more this month.
