The Tapestry

Project details match catalog

About

I’m building a platform for storytellers/cultural preservation. I’ve been documenting oral histories for the last 2 years. The Tapestry will be the proof of concept for an open-source tech stack that enables content persistence and connectivity.

Impact

The Tapestry will keep at-risk oral histories alive, incentivize connectivity through stories, and empower storytellers and archivists. This will happen through leveraging emerging tech like decentralized file storage, NFTS, and blockchain.

Progress

I've traveled to 4 different countries and documented 100+ storytellers, poets, and singers, from over 9 different tribes. The Tapestry has received over 2,500 onchain contributions. The community of weavers is growing. Will you weave with us?

Team

I am uniquely positioned as a West African poet, storyteller, and inheritor of oral traditions to help preserve them. My 3-year journey in Web3 has also provided me with tools to help make cultural preservation accessible to others.

Funding

No displayed figures preserved for this project.

Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
