Wednesday | 29th June | 20h00 DANCE FOR THE PLANET Rave Revolution Announces a Dance Gathering to Protest Inaction at the UN Lisbon Ocean Conference. Rave Revolution was founded amid the pandemic by a group of like-minded people across several continents looking to unite the dance and festival community, environmental activists and everyone else concerned about the state of our planet. Rave Revolution is designed to encourage people to do something about climate annihilation: Inspired by youth protests around the world, we in the dance/festival community realized that combining the joyful ambiance of dance events with the visibility of protest activism can bring people of all ages toward awareness and action for climate justice. Without major public uprising and/or civil disobedience, our leaders, both political and private, do not have the courage or vision to effect the system change required to bring carbon emissions down to safer levels and to protect the biodiversity that keeps our planet alive. The sea covers 70% of the planet, 43% of which is lawless. For over 10 years, member states of the United Nations have been negotiating a treaty that would enable the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction. But not surprisingly, nothing has been concluded. Meanwhile, life in the oceans has entered a downhill trajectory toward mass extinction — an event that will surpass the Earth’s prior great extinctions. Rave Revolution’s apolitical demand to the UN: Open concrete dialogue to end infinite economic growth and to shift towards a more inclusive metric such as Genuine Progress Indicators, as it is unsustainable economic growth that is leading to the destruction of the oceans and the climate. We further aim to advocate for fairer distribution of resources with the global south. The UN Ocean Conference begins on Monday, June 27. Rave Revolution, along with Ocean Rebellion and Sciaena, will be present on Wednesday, June 29 at 2pm. Join us at our music stage outside of the Altice Arena within the Parque das Nações for our initial dance protest, then afterparty at Arroz Estudios till late. 20€ donation at the door

Planting A.I.R - Artists in Residence For June and July we also welcome Vicente Ramos. Vicente is originally from São Paulo and recently moved to Lisbon, Vicente Ramos is developing a project that starts from the question: How to create a performance that is itself an interview? Following a series of interviews, initially developed outdoors, by Praça D. Pedro IV, and then at Arroz Estúdios, @o.vicente.ramos proposes to create a sound installation using these interviews as a thread for the viewer to walk around, ultimately creating a choreography of the montage of these testimonies. Keep following our resident artists on our social media channels. Planting AIR is a residency program powered by @near_protocol

We would like to invite you to Gender: Other, the first exhibition and launch of Ambigú gallery, a digital art gallery dedicated exclu sively to queer NFT collections, by artists around the world. This project was developed as part of the Planting A.I.R residency program and built inside the NEAR ecosystem. AMBIGÚ gallery is a project that brings the queer art community to the blockchain, under the @near_protocol development, by selecting an exclusive group of artists that are already thinking towards the future of digital art. With this collection, we will see how queer artists are already taking space in the digital world, by presenting new perspectives and exploring new formats and narratives, using their bodies and other means as an act of self-expression. The blockchain is already under construction with these ideas, futures and multi-expressions, and this NFT collection brings a fine selection of artists curated by Pedro Queirós, who is a queer artist himself.

Planting A.I.R - Artists in Residence For June and July we welcome Filipa Bossuet Filipa has a degree in Communication Sciences and a Master in Migrations, Inter-ethnicity and Transnationalism, @filipabossuet finds in painting a form of deconstruction and construction of her identity. Her works in oil pastel, photography and video express her existence as a woman, black and feminist. In this residency, powered by @near_protocol, Filipa wants to develop an online exhibition, to be implemented exclusively for the cryptoart market.
