Project Name: Mãe Solteira Records DAO development

Project members:

Sofia Garrucho aka Astrea: @sophiatheastrea.near

Kássia Laureano: @laureana.near

Hugo Lopez: @hugolopez.near

DAO: maesolteirarecs.sputnik-dao.near

Funding Period: May

For this month our request is to do what we couldn’t do last month and we also have some new projects in mind!

Doing a rebrand not only requires new design, but also a reinforcement on our marketing strategy. For this we need:

1- Stickers to attach in Lisbon, Porto and other cities of Portugal. The sticker will have our logo, made by Teresa Rodrigues (tresa.near), and a QR code to our Linktree, where people will find our profiles, including Astro DAO, NEAR Foundation and NEAR Protocol Links, our MintBase Store, the news and articles about our label, etc!

2 - a website: in this site will have these tabs:

About: here we’ll say who is Mãe Solteira Records, our mission, goals, team, etc;

Artists: here we’ll have our artist photos and work, with links to releases or sets;

Video: here we’ll have videos published by us, link to YouTube;

Shop: here we’ll have merch and Bandcamp links;

Next events: here we’ll have our next events by date, artist and link to resident adviser;

Near Foundation: here we’ll explain that we have funding from Near Protocol, a cryptocurrency that is part of the Near Foundation and we’ll explain what is Near Ecosystem (Near hub, astro hub), as well as explain NEAR decentralization ideologies. Then indicate that we have a Mintbase store and say if they want to create a NEAR wallet to be part of NEAR Ecosystem, they can send us an email to create it and help them with the onboarding;

Donations: here we’ll have Go Fund Me and Paypal links;

Contact: here we’ll have our contacts and emails;

3 - We want 50 t-shirts with Mãe Solteira Records and NEAR logos;

4 - Social media management is a paid job, and there are already colleges giving formation for this type of job. We do this on our own, since Kassia Laureano is a writer and poet, Astrea is a journalist, a writer, a poet and a copywriter. We do the job ourselves, although, this is a job that needs to be paid. We can also put on our bio’s profiles that we are sponsored by NEAR Protocol;

Gadutra is a transmedia artist from Rio de Janeiro. Through art direction, music, tattooing, photography, video and performance, she researches the concepts of intuition, silence and technomagic. In Lisbon since 2017, she has tattooed in more than 10 countries, as well as curating events and exhibitions or designing light for concerts. She is 1/2 of Rezgate (xxow.near), a rite-performance duo that, along with their solo work as a DJ, has been part of an emerging underground scene in Portugal.

Genderfluid songs for transmutant people ⁂

lagarta”, the first album by artist Gadutra, which has an artistic representation of an important brand in Lisbon circuits that are not limited to broad patriarchal hegemonism, is making an illustration of the field of artistic disciplines, tattoos, passing, of course, for the music.

Appropriating from different directions and forms, the multiplicity of genres is always a protagonist in his research and musical production, as well as the feeling of moving between different media and possibilities.

The work is released under the label of Troublemaker Records and presents us with an introspective and transformative journey through noise, ambient and concrete music. The album features collaborations with Evaya, Polivalente, Tita Maravilha and Tom Maciel.
