Hi, community!

**Project Name:** INA DAO May

**DAO:** inav2.sputnik-dao.near

**Council:**

- belzua.near @Belen_Zuazo
- beluespina.near @BeluEspina
- geminirising.near @GeminiRising

And 25+ **community members**!

Thanks for approving our [Budget for May](http://gov.near.org/t/approved-monthly-budget-ina-dao-for-may/20174). Below, you may see INA’s updates for the month:

**Project Accounting:** 8.4 N + 955.25 DAI + 89.90 MARMAJ / currently  
1,497.96 USD

**Still to be paid out/claimed:**

- 500 USD for @ladra’s artist residence.
- 315 USD for @BeluEspina’s council work
- 140 USD for [Paola Alfamor’s Super Hero](http://gov.near.org/t/proposal-open-call-for-an-art-project-we-are-super-heroes)

**Projects/Highlights**

- We ran 3 [AMA Sessions](http://gov.near.org/t/proposal-ama-sessions-for-ina-dao/20471) in our [Telegram group](https://t.me/inadao). The guests were @plantasia, @BeluEspina and @barbezina. The recorded videos are available in our Telegram group, and you can also find a translation for Barbara’s one [at this link](https://medium.com/@zuazo.belen/b%C3%A1rbara-bezina-a-fresh-face-in-argentinean-contemporary-art-a183e99d6c40).
- We received 31 submissions for the [Art Project “We Are Super Heroes”](http://gov.near.org/t/proposal-open-call-for-an-art-project-we-are-super-heroes/17985). After community voting, 17 were chosen to integrate our new [Paras collection](https://paras.id/inadao.near/creation).
- The artworks were displayed in our [Cryptovoxels art gallery](https://www.cryptovoxels.com/play?coords=NW@249W,661S) and our [Nearhub Gallery](https://nearhub.club/6cg5aHq/ina-dao-gallery) as a part of our Gallery Show. We also had the participation of DJ Tamu.

- 3 artists/projects were selected for the residence [INA Supports your Superpower](http://gov.near.org/t/open-call-ina-supports-your-superpower/20329), namely, @Di.Cosmic.Art, @LulucaL and @ladra. The decision was made by reviewing the projects and their relationship with INA, as well as the financial needs involved in their materialization.
- We also dedicated more efforts and resources to our social media. Our Instagram account already has 250 followers, and our Twitter account has 170.

**Learnings**

- We didn’t have the audience we expected for our [AMA Sessions](http://gov.near.org/t/proposal-ama-sessions-for-ina-dao/20471). While it’s obviously useful to make recordings available, we’re thinking of channels besides Telegram that can have a bigger reach. These could be Twitter Spaces or Instagram Live.
- Sadly, one of our council members was the victim of fraud while asking for help to upload our card collection to [Paras](https://paras.id/inadao.near/creation). Details of the case can be seen [at this post](http://gov.near.org/t/beware-of-scammers-in-near-protocol-chat-on-telegram/21725). Other users have been warned about the issue, and prevention strategies have been discussed in different channels.

**Next steps**

- Continue with the [AMA Sessions](http://gov.near.org/t/proposal-ama-sessions-for-ina-dao/20471), which have been a useful way to get the community involved, and raise visibility of female artists in the ecosystem.
- Create more projects that encourage artists participation, like [The condition of a woman’s body](http://gov.near.org/t/open-call-the-condition-of-a-womans-body/21828).
- Follow-up on the progress of the artist residence [INA Supports your Superpower](http://gov.near.org/t/open-call-ina-supports-your-superpower/20329), and run an exhibit with the outcome.
- Make a smooth transition between myself and the new council member @klarakopi. More information about the council update can be found [at this post](http://gov.near.org/t/ina-dao-council-update/21882).

Any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to the team. 💙

xx INA DAO
