I would like to add @ted.iv and @williamx that the parcel on cryptovoxels was giving me to administrate due to all the work that I have being doing together with other DAOs and that has brought many visitors there, possible collectors and that will have contact with the Near community and what is being developed by all of us together.

I would like to point out before this proposal my testimonial as a member.
Through FEMINU I received all the support and support to enter the mintbase platform as an artist and today I receive encouragement to act actively in NEAR, with advice, opportunities to participate and enable me to move and think in the collective.
FEMINU is not only being a channel of representation for women to unite, it is being a very useful tool for these women to grow together with NEAR as creators and with mintbase as an artist.
Nowadays I am going through a learning stage because I want to be 100% active in NEAR so that more investors in NFT can join, but I can say that many members who are active today would not be here with the encouragement of FEMINU.

Hi, I would like to make it clear that FEMINU has valued my work and taught me to value myself as a woman and an artist. FEMINU introduced me to NEAR, and gave me and has given me so many opportunities, that I never imagined. I have learned so much from the proposals that have been made that are liberating, I would say. FEMINU has changed not only my life but the lives of many artists for better in the physical world and in the web3. FEMINU beautifully embraces Non-Binary and transvestites and cis women and defends the cause against all kinds of violence with the proposals.
As proof of its greatest achievement, the FEMINU Exhibition is immortalized in space. I hope you consider all the facts. There has only been an increase within this community since the creation of the FEMINU DAO.
Please Look it carefully! Thank you!

Hi, i’m a 59 years old cis Woman, artist and designer.
I came here to tell you about the importance of FEMINU EXHIBITION in my life and many others. As you know this comunity is a space for Cis Woman,
Trans People, Non-Binary People, and Transvestites. So, any kind of feminine is represented.
I’m new in this Metaverse world and I loved to participate in that exhibition who allowed us to reflect about our feminine issues. How we can exist in this world and what we can do in our lives as purpose, therefore this project is so essential for all of us.
Historically, spaces for this feminine community had always been very limited and when some opportunity is offered to us, we cling to it with all our might.
Look into carefully! Thank you

Dear community,
I feel I should share my thoughts with all creatives and moderators!
When FEMINU DAO started I was invited to be council, and so I was, in APRIL with great pleasure. To make this exhibition exists, in the way we dream, it really takes a lot of work.
And for me, as there was a lot to do and I was already involved in a huge film project, I thought it was better in May to leave the position of council, presentifying myself in specific FEMINU projects.
Mayra came gradually learning the steps by steps of how the projects are being organized and I believe that, just like Mayra, other people will come with the same impetus and openness.
The fact that other people have not yet fully involved in the FEMINU DAO is because many still don’t feel comfortable and don’t understand how things work in a DAO.
I say this because the invitations have happened. And I know that Natasha and Ghini have projects to insert these women more and more, so that they also feel co-responsible for a DAO.
And for this it takes work, and this they undeniably do.
In this sense, I think it’s very important that the FEMINU proposal can be seen with loving eyes, because the idea is precisely to welcome more women (cis, trans, non-binary), and to teach many about how this ecosystem works, reminding them that it is possible to move worlds together.
Love to all!

Hello!
I’m here to tell you a little bit about my experience with Feminu.
I discovered the NEAR network through the FEMINU exhibition, @ghini taught me how to use the platform and gave me all the support with great affection.
FEMINU created a space of welcome and opportunities for cis, trans, non-binary and transvestite women artists, so that we can grow through our art. This month of June I wrote my first proposal for FEMINU DAO and I have been receiving applications from several artists to participate in the AMAR exhibition, which is scheduled to start on June 18th. Within this movement 8 onboardings of artists for NEAR have taken place.
Look into carefully

@BiaVictal ,it is beautiful to see your growth and that of other artists within Near, learning and developing, helping to build something bigger. Our cause is great! Thank you for being a part of it. I say this also to dear @filmesdeinfiltracao Thaís, who we hope to see back soon contributing actively and proposing projects at FEMINU!!! Thank you both for your support.

Hi @ted.iv we have once again revised the proposal, reducing the total budget to 3800 USD. We don’t want the other projects to suffer, especially all the artists who have already done the work.
I will do the building construction and curating at 550 USD and the video at no cost, and we will remove the proposal for the visual map, keeping the other changes which were 100 USD to Mayra for helping the councils work and 100 USD to buy works from the FEMINU artists. I hope that this way we are more in line with the spirit of Creatives DAOs. We will do our roadmapping of International FEMINU more extended in order to not concentrate resources solely on this, continuing our search for assets outside of Near in order to make this very important project for artists viable and not centralized as it was. We thank you for your understanding and ask that it be reevaluated by the moderators. @creativesdao-council

Hei @Ghini, thank you for the revised proposal.
Just wanna stress again we’re not trying to reduce the budget. The more important thing is: How do you divide resources & organize your activities in a way that encourages the participation of the community.
I am happy to support your proposal after revision & metrics added. Looking forward to the June report & updates in following proposals.

Thank you @williamx, we’ll have this in mind next month and we’ll do our best as always for all the Near community and FEMINU that we are very fond of.
Thank you very much for your support.

Hi @williamx, considering your statement that the problem was not the 5000 USD budget, we could then add a very interesting proposal that I came to know about and that was left out by not being able to propose for other DAOs and that has everything to do with FEMINU, which is 4Women, an exhibition that will pay tribute to 4 outstanding NEAR women artists (4 NFTs of each one) It is a project by @macieira and @Isa_Danoninho worth 500USD, which would increase our total to 4350USD, if I haven’t miscounted. Would it be possible to include this project then? I would appreciate your comment.
Thank you very much,

Hi @Ghini , I appreciate the feedback and updates. With the addition of the most recent project, I see that it’s funding two long-time members of the community mainly for organisation and curation, and none of this funding goes directly back to artists involved etc. so for me this touches on the topic discussed above in terms of distribution of funding throughout the DAO. So, in this instance, I wonder if it would it make sense for some of that funding to be distributed to the artists being chosen rather than having two people curating and organising?
I just want to re-iterate also, that I feel this DAO holds huge importance in the community, and what we are discussing here is not decreasing the budget, but where it is distributed, and it is a conversation that spans the entirety of the Creatives DAO. Thanks

@ted.iv thanks for the guidance, we’ll cancel this new idea of 4Women exhibition and then stick with the ones that are well distributed according to Creatives’ understanding, especially because we have a short time do think about a new proposal. This was a project that was written but not proposed and it wouldn’t delay us anymore. We can’t take any more delays, it could harm the hole project. Waiting fot your approval if possible as it is written above. 3800 USD. Thanks
Best,
Ghini

Hey @Ghini , I appreciate once again the feedback and just want to say that this was not a comment to remove the project but more so to instigate the conversation around the previous topics. We here as moderators are not the ones that make the final call on this, rather, we are here to assist, advise and initiate productive conversations that benefit the entire community. We are not here to say what is right, and what is wrong, because ultimately, that does not exist in such a black and white manner, and the whole aim of the DAO is to step further and further into decentralised organization. Therefore we are building these guidelines for the community, not to confine people.

@ted.iv I understood perfectly and I greatly appreciate bringing these issues so that we can discuss and agree with the importance of all of it, we are even already with a project to be proposed for July doing onboardings of black artists for a very rich exhibition in artistic terms to be done by an artist who joined by FEMINU and is starting on the network, which will be a learning for her as well as give opportunity to those outside the blockchain, with supervision of another artist. We look forward to your approval of the way it is done above. Thank you very much, but we will keep this last project excluded.
Best,
Ghini

@Ghini ok, thank you for your answers and interaction here. I appreciate the feedback, and patience as the moderators assess the funding proposals and I’m happy to say that this proposal follows the Creatives DAO Guidelines, so it is approved by the Community Moderators. Please create a poll on the Creatives DAO astrodao [link: Astro ] so that the council can vote. When and if the vote of the council is ‘yes’, approach NF for your payout proposal, following this guidelines: [GUIDE] Proposal & Payout process for Creatives DAO
Looking forward to seeing these projects come to fruition! In the meantime, I would also love to hear @Natashacremonese 's feedback on the above discussion
Thank you!

@ted.iv thank you so much for everything. About @Natashacremonese she traveled more than 800 miles to participate in a festival with the visionary art biennale group that she is part of. Her physical work is sensational. On her way we were able to meet in person for the first time which was amazing. She is taking the opportunity to be a little off line which is very rare in her life. As soon as she returns, she will be answering the questions here. Thank you in advance for your understanding. I will do the polls for the DAOs to vote.
Best,
Ghini
P.S. by mistake I cliked the like in your post again and now it’s gone and it’s not allowed to put it back. sorry

@ted.iv Hello how are you! I am being informed of everything despite having been without internet for a few days. I was representing the International Biennial of Psychedelic Culture and Visionary Art in SP/Altinopolis about 1500 km from home. Exhibition for more than 10 thousand people, in one of the biggest music festivals in Brazil. Which turned 30. In addition to carrying out guided tours for these thousands of people in the Galeria my works eatav la. And I was also able to hold a face painting workshop in partnership with fellow artists. I also received an invitation from Murici to go to the National Meeting of Indigenous Peoples, which is an honor for me. As for the questions on the forum. I will be more detailed in my reports given that we hold more than 20 hours of meetings per month, talk to several women, seek outside initiatives to invest in Near and in Feminu as well. Thanks
