Connect street artists, activists - Artivists and their followers, with the global Cardano community, impact projects, and other street art collectives and street artists.

As part of the activities of Streets of ADA - A Samsudin Brothers Projek, and being a Cardano4Good and Blockchain4Good advocate, we have been actively working to onboard communites, art collectives, artists into the digital economy and help them understand the advantages now on offer to them: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cur8X0so8ow/utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Above, at Spot 13 in Paris, I spoke with Duro Duris, an artist from Prague, who at his own expense, and having been vetted and accepted by non profit Street art collective Spot 13, has been given a space to create his art. As an artivist, his intentions with his piece was to speak to the paradox of climate change and our behaviours as humans. How as the ice melts, humanity continues to play games, with the depiction of the hockey players symbolising the 'skating on thin ice' reality we are living in as a species.

Through further conversations around how he supports himself and makes a living, and how the street artists and Spot 13 are operating, they face similar challenges to activists and NGOs around the world.

Speaking with Joko, President of Spot 13 about the opportunities for digital transformation to help support their mission and artists.

"L'espèce humaine a un besoin viscéral de s'exprimer, d'inscrire ses messages sur les murs, même si c'est pour graver sur un tronc d'arbre "Juliette je t'aime", c'est inhérent à l'homme. Je fais juste en sorte de canaliser cette envie pour créer quelque chose de beau et d'accessible à tous."

Joko - Président de Spot 13

"The human species has a visceral need to express itself, to inscribe its messages on the walls, even if it is to engrave on a tree trunk "Juliette je t'aime", it is inherent in the man. I'm just trying to channel this desire to create something beautiful and accessible to all."

Joko - President of Spot 13

London - Latest Graffiti Workshops with Marc Craig, Leake Street Artist In Residence at Leake Street.

https://www.facebook.com/marccraigartist/

Marc Craig, artist in residence at Leake Street Arches also runs workshops for the public in graffiti and street art. He is already a NFT artist having launched art on Tezos blockchain.

Our solution seeks to connect the dots that are currently unconnected, and bring high quality and highly inspirational artivists into the Cardano community, by integrating them into the Streets of ADA Universe - A Samsudin Brothers Projek Universe, and also creating pathways for artists and collectives to enjoy whitelabel solutions, and connect with others that share common values.

[IMPACT] How does your proposed solution address the challenge and what benefits will this bring to the Cardano ecosystem?

This will bring greater adoption of Cardano4Good tools through organic growth.

With a values driven approach, led at the grassroots level by street art collectives, and artists who create art as activism - hence "artivists", synergy with the global and local Cardano community can help amplify the message inherent in the art created by the artists, and enable artists to scale the visibility of their work and build a global community of supporters, fans and patrons around their talent and work.

[IMPACT] How do you intend to measure the success of your project?

KPIs:

• number of street artists signing up to the Streets of ADA Street Artist Collective
• number of wallets opened
• number of art pieces/murals created promoting the synergy between the Art as Activism movement and the Cardano4Good movement

[IMPACT] Please describe your plans to share the outputs and results of your project?

We will share our updates on social media platforms (twitter, linked in, facebook, YouTube), and through updates on twitterspaces such as the Cardano for Good twitterspace hosted by Sustainable ADA and co-hosted and moderated by Cardano Spot and Miguel.

[CAPABILITY/ FEASIBILITY] What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability?

At A Samsudin Brothers Projek team, we have already developed an international network of partners, advisors and supporters from within the Cardano community and beyond, who believe in our vision and are down for the mission. We are actively in talks with London and Paris based street art collectives:

[CAPABILITY/ FEASIBILITY] What are the main goals for the project and how will you validate if your approach is feasible?

The main goals are to:

• Unlock the untapped potential for street artists to have their art and message seen and heard by a global audience for appreciation, and inspiration
• Develop an international community of supporters, fans and patrons for street artists, 'artivists' who use their art to promote social and climate justice
• Help deploy resources for existing street art collectives and connect them with one another, faciliated by Cardano tools

[CAPABILITY/ FEASIBILITY] Please provide a detailed breakdown of your project’s milestones and each of the main tasks or activities to reach the milestone plus the expected timeline for the delivery.

Month 1

• Onboard street art collectives in Paris and London Cardano
• Onboard street artivists based in Paris and London to Streets of ADA Universe
• Create a dedicated sign up page for the Streets of ADA Artivist Collective

Month 2

• Begin collection of Proof of Impact NFTs with collectives and artists
• Connect artists, collectives and impact projects together in the Cardano4Good community
• Connect with Proof of Impact Platform (Impact Web3, Sustainable ADA)

Month 3

• Promote the confirmed collections with marketing across collective social media channels

[CAPABILITY/ FEASIBILITY] Please describe the deliverables, outputs and intended outcomes of each milestone.

Create a decentralized collective to onboard street artists into Cardano.

Supporting them on their digital journey into creating a collection of Proof of Impact NFTS bridging artists and impact organisations together, and creating a revenue stream for artists and impact organisations.

• Marketing and communications - social media posts, news articles
• Monitor and evaluate impact and create a summary report/article of findings

[RESOURCES & VALUE FOR MONEY] Please provide a detailed budget breakdown of the proposed work and resources.

Educational sessions and onboarding set up calls/meetings - 8000 ADA

Marketing and communication - 6000 ADA

Project management and admin fees - 9000 ADA

Documentation and explainer packs (in English and local dialects) - 1500 ADA

Travel - 2500 ADA

Contingency costs - 2000 ADA

Legal fees, admin - 8000 ADA

Total: 37000

[RESOURCES & VALUE FOR MONEY] How does the cost of the project represent value for money for the Cardano ecosystem?

The cost of the project represents value for money as it enables the kickstart and acceleration of impactful activity by the Streets of ADA - A Samsudin Brothers Projek team.

We have already worked since 2022 to onboard members into the Cardano community, including the 39 NGOs of the Palawan NGO Network Inc., Talk to Loop, and other stakeholders.

The costs are justified and a modest ask given given our track record in and out of the Cardano community to date based out of western Europe (London and Paris), and the average salaries in these geographies.

We have already been the boots on the ground, connecting the dots in the community and beyond:
