About
A visual series of 10 animated stories based on real Venezuelan experiences, with comic versions. In Phase 2 we'll offer free training for artists on storytelling and teach them how to mint their work and get support.
Impact
It will fight stereotypes and xenophobia promoted by media headlines by sharing real Venezuelan stories. It empowers artists, builds empathy, and reclaims identity through storytelling and blockchain ownership.
Progress
Collected real stories, developed early visual concepts, connected with NGOs currently working with venezuelans around the world, and started production of the first 10 animated and comic stories. Educational content for artists is also in progress.
Team
I’m Venezuelan, living in Colombia, with lived experience and strong ties to affected communities. I’ve studied storytelling and animation to help others turn their stories into powerful art.
