Updated Project Timeline:
1 - RESSONANCIA PODCASTS
This month we just release new episodes, but did not record, just worked on plan and research
2 - RESSONANCIA STATION
We brought together the curator Carla Boregas
Carla Boregas (b.1984, Brazil) is a self-taught artist working with the medium of sound.Interested in encounters and situations that can occur through sound practices, Carla investigates sound as a language and tool for creating aural spaces, manipulating analog and digital synthesizers, field recordings and acoustic sounds with emphasis on texture, repetition and sensoriality. She works across the spectrum of composition/production, performance and sound installation. She also collaborates with artists fromdance, film and theater.
She already invited 5 new artists from Latin America, all women with work at the intersection of visual arts, sound art and experimental music.

Bruno Mendonça

Bruno Mendonca is the new invited curator and is also going to invite artists, the idea is to bring together LGBT artists who move between the field of performance, music and sound art in an intersectional political bias and in a queer performativity way, much from what researcher Paco Vidarte will propose in his book "Ética Bixa " edited and published by publisher N-1. Peruvian curator Miguel Lopez also brought this perspective to bear in his participation in the 11th edition of the Videobrasil Festival Caderno 11: Alianças de corpos vulneráveis: feminismos, ativismo bicha e cultura visual - Videobrasil
This queer performativity would be both in the compositions, texts, and in the vocalizations, orality (spoken word), etc…
Web page still is on progress

Hypeness

This month we got back to ads and increase follower and engagement
- in July without boost we had a decrease of 76% and only 117 followers. In August we had a increase of 125% and around 100 followers more.
- This month we reached a lot more with ads and just show as important it is to keep up
- In September we plan to keep up the growth with ads
- We empowered our partnership with near on our networks, tagging all our posts with #nearprotocol and @ near when possible
- We also mentioned Near support at podcast description in all platforms.
Learnings:
-
As we are still quite new to the DAOs and with the delays of payments we had some delay at artists and curators deliveries, so this month we are going for a smaller budget in order to organize calendar.
-
NFTropolis was an amazing experience and we really believe we should take it step by step in the next months bigger as could get a very important step to bring more people onboard to the ecosystem
-
Understanding the constant need of publicize and more social media presence to increase podcast and project audience
-
Improving schemes to teach and show how to enter the ecosystem - as adding videos and creating a PDF to send to newbies.
-
Trying to figure out a good term between good artists, curator and researchers but also interested in the web3, near ecosystem and crypto world.
-
Learning how to deal with Meta / Instagram advertising
Next Steps:
For Ressonância
Focus on Estacao Ressonância, bringing onboard new curators and many more artists and sound artworks.
For Memento, keep working on digital platforms as Issuu, until we can manage a printed edition for the catalog.
For Mothering, to launch the performance and webinar videos.
Investing in social media and public relations as we believe Mothering has a strong potential to be in.
Goal:
With the NEAR support and new content we believe that we will impact a significant number of people and then bring more publicity and creativity to the ecosystem.
Empowering a full digital platform that grows month by month and becomes an important research archive of the intersections of visual and sound art, with research on Portuguese-speaking artists and the importance of music and art in the cultures of these countries, importance of be dealing with pressing issues of contemporary art as in Mothering and Memento.
