Project Timeline: August 1st – August 31th 2022 (changed to August 26 - September in date to be defined, because of the approval date)

Objective:

The goal of this proposal was to continue the curatorial work for 4 exhibitions and cultural events to be developed by FEMINU DAO, including meta architectural work in the gallery building, in the month of August.

Project:

This month the curatorial work presented a big challenge which was to design and put together a sound art exhibition, probably the first one at Voxels. For this I had the technical help of the sound art artist @raffagomes.

Exhibitions:

Link to Voxels FEMINU Gallery:

1 - WWWomen - a solo exhibition to honor the renowned artist and Brazilian women leader, Carol Cavenaghi, showing 13 new NEAR NFTs made especially for FEMINU, with beautiful feminine tall figures, disposed like totens in the top of the FEMINU Gallery building.

2 - SONORO: uma outra perspectiva: Possibly the first exhibition exclusively of sound art in the Voxels metaverse, SONORO, had the presence of a great number of visitors, including world famous names of sound art like @PHart contributing to spread the Near name to the sound art artists, who came to know about the blockchain and its community. It showed 13 new Near NFTs and had 4 onboardings and a space is being built and will be inaugurated on September 15th, in the Voxels metaverse, to eternalize the SONORO Exhibition.

3 - Unsaid words: This exhibition, organized by naju.near with the participation of eusouaguerra.near, was displayed next to the FEMINU event square providing great visibility to the exhibited works. It displayed 9 new Near NFTs.

4 - **FOLKLORE Exhibition: We also had a beautiful exhibition showing 16 NFTs with the FOLKLORE from several countries including 16 Near NFTs (13 new Near NFTs)

This bounty had a special rule which was to describe the image of the artwork (for visual disabilities persons).

After the registration deadline had passed we announced that the bounty would be run by the curator, Severa Paraguaçu who defines herself as “crippling drag queen and incomplete model. Deconstruent in the Anticapacitist Antimanual series, vocalist in the ever-forming band Severa Paraguaçu and the Unfinished, and president of the matutation tank Academia Paraguaçuniana de Artes e Ciências Severas.”

Severa is also a curator and has lost part of her vision. She has done very important work regarding the awareness of the need to be aware of the so-called dissident bodies, which are those that do not conform to established standards.

The act of describing the image is a form of inclusion of people who have visual problems. The difficulty that the artists had, writing about the artworks instead of describing the images of the artworks, shows how this is a practice that is hardly used.

We also had an exhibition that was not scheduled in our budget and therefore was done by me on a totally voluntary basis, which was the FEMINU DAO MEMBERS EXHIBITION showing 8 new Near NFTs among 27 NFTs of the FEMINU DAO members in the FEMINU Aquarium: ghini.near / cleusaraven.near / giogoretti.near / mayramendes.near/ filmesdeinfiltracao.near/ najunft.near / biancavictal.near

Project highlights:

  • **The metrics of success speak for themselves
  • The meta architectural work was huge and took a lot of hours to do, providing the building with more integration between floors and exhibitions.**

Metrics of success:

The exhibitions were a HUGE success as we can see in the following metrics:

The 355 visitors in the opening day and the 444 visitors counting the first 3 days, after the opening , contributed for the Parcel entry in the Voxels trending ranking as one of the top 20 most visited parcels of the week and that is quite an achievement for an event in that metaverse, contributing for the dissemination of the NEAR brand!
