- Some payouts pending like 12,3N of council fee and 11,8N related to the marketing funding
Updated Project Timeline:
-
Incubadora started a process of redistributing Its council activities in order to work in a more organic and efficient way. From now on, we’re going to be able to divide our tasks more equally while asking less money for the council and administrative matters. Our goal is to prioritize our activities
-
We started a partnership with The 3xR in order to create a bridge between Its tools and technology and the Portuguese-speaking creatives community. During the month, we invited artists and curators to use, experiment and learn about blockchain, metaverse and NFT’s. The result is a series of customized virtual galleries created by them and minted in our Mintbase Store

As part of our growing investment on De-Fi experiments and research, @frnvpr gave a De-Fi workshop to Incubadora team members. It was an opportunity to consolidate our knowledge of tools like Ref.finance and Metapool, learn De-Fi strategies and be aware of security issues
-
The artists awarded in our 3rd Artist Stipend Program started to present their final reports. Here are the testimonies from LĂgia Fernandes and JoĂŁo Saiote on the impacts the stipend had in their artistic work and life

- The artist Juliana Matsumura, supported by Incubadora’s Vertical program with the Kawa-Kami project, submitted her final report. The work she made was huge and the report is full of learnings. We are really happy to witness the virtual version of Kawa-Kami project, now available for everybody on VR DAO’s Mintbase Store

Due to the changes observed in our community, in particular, the Guilds’ Tiering System, we decided to work hard in a proposal that will allow us to run for the NEAR Foundation Grants Program and other funding programs such as the Daocubator
-
Incubadora organized a meeting with the members of Triângulo project in order to set up a partnership. The idea is to develop an artistic residency at Prisma Studio, where Incubadora will be part of the mentorship process
Highlights:
-
We are delighted to announce the five writers awarded with the 4th edition of our Artist Stipend Program. The winners are: Ana Pedrosa, Bruno Bucis, Taslim, Urutau Maria Pinto and ZĂ© Bernardo da Fonseca . This edition was the most successful so far, we had 26 applicants and It was organized in partnership with Cosmia DAO, who rewarded other 4 writers
-
Neuroaesthetics: the resumption of the visual experience as a way of knowing the world was the 5th Seminar held by Incubadora’s educational project. It was presented by Dr. Juliano do Carmo and organized in partnership with the Philosophers DAO. The activity was really successful with more than 40 subscriptions and 29 attendees, the most balanced so far. The seminar video will soon be available on our YouTube channel

- Francisco Lourenço and Henrique Neves were the featured artists in the continuation of our Artist Interviews by CUDO x Incubadora called “CUBA SHOTS” a project that portrays artists in the contexts of their daily life and work. The final videos will soon be displayed on our YouTube channel

- Incubadora Vertical also supported the following projects: Travel Podcast, Ways of Seeing Workshop that is supposed to happen in May, and 28 days in Tallinn. Besides that, thanks to our Vertical fundings, we were able to reflect and define the Dapps we want to develop: one for managing our open calls, facilitating both submitions and jury voting; and another one for managing our Vertical itself, distributing funds in a more decentralized way
Learnings:
-
Incubadora is growing and we want to develop more activities in the future. With that said, It’s important to increase the amount of people working with us
-
Focusing on long term planning is crucial to increase our DAO’s resilience and growth
Next Steps:
-
Supporting the 7th month of the Travel Podcast, and the 2nd month of 28 days in Tallinn
-
Developing the CUBA SHOTS next episodes with CUDO
-
Running for the grants programs
-
Preparing the next round of our Artist Stipend Program
-
Preparing and running the next Incubadora’s seminar
-
Inviting more creatives to experiment the creation of customized galleries in 3xR space
