We cannot talk about climate action without addressing food security. How can we educate people living in cities about food sovereignty and inspire them to think about sustainable food systems through interactive experiences?\n\nThe goal of this project is to encourage people to consider the importance of pollinators in our world's food supply and to spark conversations about food security in urban agriculture. Pollinators, such as bees, butterflies, moths, wasps, flies, beetles, ants, bats, hummingbirds, and others, play a vital role in the planet's ecosystems.\n\n Almost 90% of all flowering plants and over a third of the world's crop species depend on them.While each species has its specific habitat needs, two requirements are common to all pollinators: an abundance of diverse, flowering native or naturalized plants, and safe nesting and breeding places.\n\n \n\nWhile each species has its specific habitat needs, two requirements are common to all pollinators: an abundance of diverse, flowering native or naturalized plants, and safe nesting and breeding places.\n\nWe will use these hubs to educate people about decentralization in an embodied way. What do I mean by this? People are more likely to learn through a physical experience rather than on a screen. These SISU portals can help us engage more people in Web3 and will be part of the installation that encourages people to obtain a SISU NFT created by established and upcoming artists who will partner with us, thereby driving more traffic to the project.\n\nWe aim to connect with Web3 by building community through our public art piece, which will be connected with the local community we are working in. By offering NFT options for the artwork, we can create a sense of shared ownership and pride among the community, as people will have a stake in the piece and contribute to its creation. Additionally, we can add interactive elements to the artwork, such as AR-enabled features, to engage viewers and create a more immersive experience.\n\nTo increase engagement and build a community around the artwork, we can encourage people to share images and videos of it on social media, with a target of at least 1,000k+ impressions per city. We will strategically place this hub in locations with high foot traffic or during cultural moments, such as ETH Barcelona. Furthermore, we will host events and workshops that promote web3 technology and REFI, and educate the public about its potential, using the artwork as a focal point for these activities. We will also seek local influencers and thought leaders to join these conversations.\n\nBy fostering collaboration among multiple artists and community members in the creation of the artwork, we can build relationships and networks that extend beyond the piece itself and into the wider web3 community. Ultimately, our public art piece can serve as a powerful tool for connecting people to the importance of pollinators, food security, and web3.\n\n\n\n\nGoals:\nGrow the community by 5000 members.\nProvide a month-long of educational resources at each SISU Portal.\nPromote inclusion, diversity, and advocacy by hiring mostly BIPOC and women in the team.\nCreate a space for individuals to remember their inherent connection to nature.\nEducate people on how to protect pollinators in their communities and provide them with hands-on resources for protection.\n\nHow? \n\nWe will create Living Sculptures that serve as hubs for people in communities to learn about climate solutions. The idea is to design sculptures that become nodes for people to learn about topics such as composting at home and urban food production. Inspired by Radical Friends, a book on Decentralised Autonomous Organisations, Kim Simonsson the Arts, and my friends at Art Rising, I believe that the Defi and Refi communities have yet to explore the potential of using performance and public art to connect with a wider audience on a topic that affects us all.\n\nThrough the use of aquaponic systems and vertical gardens, we will educate people on climate solutions in an experiential manner. This project will be tied with Tangible Impact, where people will have the opportunity to plant a thought or a dream in three different locations. We will use the funds raised from this project to support grassroots reforestation projects in Colombia, Peru, and Mexico.\n\nCities? \nNYC\nBARCELONA \nMIAMI \nLA\n\nMentors and Collaborators \nPaloma Teppa - Plant The Future https://www.plantthefuture.com/design-studio/ \nArt Rising - https://www.theartrising.com/\nRachel McGannon -  http://www.rachelmcgannon.com/\n\n\nOur Approach \n\nThese portals will be tangible and sensual- people feel that \u201cthis can help me\u201d \u201cI can do this\u201d \u201cOhhhh I didn\u2019t know that. When they feel their senses and bodies engaged in a positive way. Works shops that complete the circle.\n\nLet's say each sculpture represents and honors the native ecosystem, flora and fauna of each place they are in (even if it's in a cityscape). \n\nThe base is soil regeneration, we plant mini agroforests around the base that fertilized the soil underneath and around the sculpture. The plants on the sculpture represent native plants, help our pollinators, and demonstrate food security and culturally relevant foods to the area.\n\nHow can we tell a story about the time/space people are in through the sculpture? We will work with local communities to do so!\n\nHow can we help each person connect to their personal relationship to food and nature?\n\nEducation Workshops:\n\nLet's say we have a sculpture in Los Angeles. It has local sages, Yerba Santa, sumac, and it demonstrates water conservation. We invite people to come harvest from the sculpture and then we lead a demonstration on how to make a \u201chealing balm\u201d from the sage. Or a fermentation. Or an essential oil. Something to help them feel empowered. \n\nWe also create the space for participants to engage in a conversation where they can bring in their knowledge about what innovative solutions they have found to work in their own context, and build a network of people that can learn from each other\u2019s experiences. This is also a great opportunity to get more people that care for climate learn about Web3. \n\n\nWhat is SISU? \n\nSISU is a movement inspired to accelerate climate solutions focused on adaptation, restoration, and conservation of our earth\u2019s key stone species, BEES, TREES AND REEFS, using the power of art and culture and web3. \n\nWe are not here to tell you that you are not doing enough when it comes to climate change \u2014 but rather that there is SO MUCH that we can do right now to build a better future. And we need to start doing it. In a beautiful and creative way!\n\nSISU aims to bridge the URL with IRL, by creating digital experiences that work hand in hand with large-scale biophilic public art and storytelling. SISU inspires and educates, and produces multimedia stories that highlight the real climate heroes: our partners.\n\nCheck us in Action!\n\nhttps://studio.youtube.com/video/bvxsx-RQL8Q/edit\n\nSISU FULL WHITE PAPER \nhttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1LmYQp8mh7uxwsovxUBrHjPlTz-14CD5-d3RFS3BzANk ", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectTwitter": "sisu_xyz"}, "recipient": "0x2fe0807D0e806549D6ad240dfa47071be908b226"}}
