Overcoming Obstacles with Brasa. ClickCreate and AOTM

NorCal and Klutch

Can a community of artists overcome censorship and thrive despite political obstacles? This episode explores the fascinating journey of Brazilian digital artists facing significant challenges as they navigate reduced visibility on X (formerly Twitter). We sit down with NorCal, Klutch, and members of the AOTM team, Justin and Aniko, to discuss the strategies these resilient artists are using to maintain their creative output. Hear from Hugo and Cider, who share firsthand accounts of leveraging new technologies and platforms like ClickCreate and AOTM to keep their art alive and visible.
Facing the Twitter ban during major events like NFT Brazil, Brazilian artists have had to become incredibly resourceful. Through alternative communication methods like Instagram, Telegram, and Signal, they've managed to sustain their vibrant community spirit. Otis and Hugo provide insights into the unique hurdles Brazilian artists encounter and their unyielding determination to share their work. We delve into the transition of artists to decentralized platforms such as Farcaster and explore the rich tapestry of styles and inspirations that define the Brazilian digital art scene.
Every Wednesday, we celebrate a new artist drop, showcasing incredible talent like Lord, Beissu, and 0010_888. We discuss the logistical efforts behind these drops and our commitment to documenting these moments through video production and a growing YouTube channel. In this final segment, we highlight the importance of inclusivity and representation, spotlighting influential Brazilian curators and artists like Kika Nicolella and Les Cogumelos. Join us as we champion the collaborative spirit driving the global art community, ensuring these dedicated artists receive the recognition and support they deserve.
