Rádio Pantera is a radio project focused on listening and corporeities of trans people in Latin America or in diasporic processes. This project intends to occupy the metaverse, at the same time it aims to build a network of affections, contacts and opportunities in the areas of sound production and DJing produced by trans people, gender dissidents or in diasporic processes.
This is a rare initiative for both Voxels and Near blockchain.
In addition to the function of communicating and disseminating the productions of independent artists, the radio is interested in developing accessible and independent alternative communication networks based on non-predatory ecologies in their integration with emerging technologies. Making the diffusion process not only in the sense of consumption, but also of establishing possible connections of promotion and survival for these productions.
In this sense, bringing trans and racialized people closer to the NEAR Protocol platform is one of the goals of the project, providing the onboarding of four artists for the month of September in the ecosystem, as well as two broadcasts of radio programs through #feminu-dao in their building on Voxels. Among the guest artists are DJ CAELA, with a set of approximately 1 hour, and the band NAVILOCA, with a show of approximately 45 minutes. The editing of materials and the development of radio arts will be made by the graphic artist Xãtana Xãtara.
[Justification]
Since within the NEAR ecosystem there are few projects specifically aimed at the trans population, as well as DAOs and projects specifically aimed at welcoming these people are minority; this is a project that thinks about the inclusion of this population, its promotion and support through the dissemination of the artistic sound production of trans people. Joining FEMINU DAO, which arrived in the ecosystem with the proposal of fostering the female cis, trans and non-binary artistic community, we see in this partnership the possibility of expanding dialogues between DAOs as well as generating an interest in people outside the ecosystem in the artistic possibilities on the web3, mainly those focused on independent, electronic and underground music. With the radio project, it is intended to expand the access of Trans people, as well as to bring to light the importance of the diversity of access by other communities that are not yet broadly integrated, since there are very few projects aimed exclusively at the Trans population, just as there is no specific Dao to address the specific needs of these groups.
[Objectives]
Launch of a web Radio protagonized by Trans people. In partnership with #feminu-dao for the month of September will be held:
-
Launch of the digital platform for meeting and sound broadcasting “RADIO PANTERA”.
-
Launch of two programs throughout the month of September: “PANTERA VIVA” - a program focused on DJ culture and electronic music. And “NO CORO DA PANTERA” - a program aimed at artists or groups with authorial sound productions in their various styles. These two shows will be broadcast in an occupancy of the Feminu building in the Voxels metaverse.
-
Recording radio content ( authorial sounds and DJ sets) to be shared on other social networks (Youtube, Soundcloud and Instagram), as a way of expanding the bridges for access and dissemination of the NEAR Protocol ecosystem for people and networks still off-chain.
-
Onboarding of guest artists and dissemination of the ecosystem in order to bring more Trans people to the NEAR Protocol platform. Initially, 4 artists will be brought to the platform directly by Rádio Pantera.

CAELA | @cuca.ela | soundcloud.com/cu-callll
Caela aka Cuca is a DJ and music producer. Creator of the Barulho party in Niterói, she brings to her mixes a versatile and multiple sound, talking between techno and house, with surgical hints of funk. Her proposal, as a black and trans body, is to appropriate these sound styles and make them resume in the booths, making the public aware that the club and electronic music, initially was the product of bodies like ours, black and LGBTQIA+, therefore, we must be in this movement of retaking the scene.
NAVILOCA | @naviloca | press release
NAVILOCA is an indie lgbtqia+ artistic group formed in 2019 in the West Zone of Rio de Janeiro with Feyna & Marshall on vocals and compositions, accompanied by the arrangements produced by Dija Dijones (independent producer of @instalanca). They incorporate in the musical performance an alchemical mixture of alternative indie, MPB, funk, pop and trip rock. Moving between rhythms and musical experiments that speak to the performances on stage, the place where it all began. Inspired by the Manifesto Antropofágico (Cannibalist Manifesto), by Tropicalismo and in reference to the magazine Navilouca1 from 1974, whose name was inspired, the group seeks exchanges with other artists, building expressions loaded with subjectivity of individual artistic trajectories that at the same time collectively outline what NAVILOCA is.
NAVILOCA is;
MARSHALL | @marshallfonseca
Coming from Soteropolitan soil, the non-binary trans artist, vocalist of NAVILOCA, embraces the representation of socially marginalized bodies in her compositions. Graduated in performing arts, Marshall brings to the stage more than music, a performance that screams over her dissident and rejected body in an increasingly combative and violent reality. Her compositions bring the artist’s acid voice in a raw, naked and realistic way. Behind the scenes Marshall brings the refinement of her modeling experience and her artistic expression through makeup.
FEYNA | @feyna000
Non-binary multiartist and psychologist, inspired by the works of Lygia Clark, Nise da Silveira and Dona Ivone Lara. Feyna’s research focuses on the connection of the body, art and mental health. Their work at NAVILOCA ranges from compositions, stage performances, costumes and artistic direction. Music appears in their life as a power to create a new body and world.
