November 2020,
Dear _
The organizational team of Hackumenta aims through this letter to express our interest in having your team as a participatory member of the incubation phase of Hackumenta, which will take place virtually between December 2020 & January 2021.
Hackumenta will be a cultural festival as a decentralized community-organized initiative, based in Athens that aims to have local grounding and a global reach.
The project invites creative and blockchain communities to come together for collective creative explorations that redefine pre-existing art event models, being based on sharing of resources, cultivating new forms of participation and connecting the local and global, the virtual and the physical.
The event program of HACKUMENTA will include art exhibitions, panels, happenings, performances, and workshops that will unfold across various locations throughout the city of Athens and beyond, as well as through virtual spaces.
HACKUMENTA is an applied experiment to rethink the format of a full-scale art event: Its participants coordinate as a Decentralised Autonomous Organization (DAO), a democratic means of coordination, making a network of contributors*,** the artists, projects, venues and participating communities, the co-creators of HACKUMENTA.*
HACKUMENTA is a cultural festival as a decentralized community-organized initiative. There is no single owner. It is a movement based on the premise that self-organization is the backbone of the art ecosystem.
HACKUMENTA is performative, experimental, collaborative and creative in all its stages: We invite projects, individuals and anyone interested in collaborating in co-designing HACKUMENTA and in participating in fruitful and educational discussions to join us in the incubation phase of the HACKUMENTA project.
Our Community Values that we seek to express through HACKUMENTA:
