The Kin DAO's cofounder Asya mints our fist NFT Mintbase with help from Jordan from Codame at the Hyphae NFT Exhibition at the Local Maker Mart, SF in October 2022.
Hyphae, defined as the branching filaments that make up the mycelium of a fungus, represents the beginnings of communal art bridge building and value shifting. Kindness Grocery Cooperative, an innovative hybrid cooperative, launched Kin DAO in September of 2021 as a digital branch of their operation. Their intention; to use digital tools to bring equitable systems to the real world through NFT art, collective land purchase and regenerative practices. With these tools the Kin DAO plans to collectively purchase farm land to expand the regenerative and sustainable community work of Kindness Grocery Cooperative.
Hosted in a former bank, Hyphae touches on the extractive structures disrupting our life systems and facilitates perspective openings to collectively redefine worth. By filling former bank spaces with artworks that represent wealth in forms outside of capital, viewers are encouraged to explore their own definitions of value. The exhibition emphasizes the importance of creativity and collaboration and how blockchain technology is supporting this value shift.
Throughout the duration of the show Kin DAO will be hosted workshops centered around bridging the digital divide to onboard new community members to the digital space. Their goal is to provide tools for everyone, especially those who lack access, to participate in this technological evolution. Some of the workshops will include digital wellness, blockchain onboarding, and NFT art.
