The audio-visual art exhibition will build an imagery that shifts mindsets about wealth and how it is defined. Sikhula Sonke is an isiXhosa phrase which means ‘we grow together.’ The living archives will present stories of elders from Southern Africa whose knowledge can inform Afro-futurist financial systems that are not centered on Capitalism. The mixed media visual artwork will depict alternative systems based on archival research on the same topic so that the Afrocentric storytelling will serve as a continuation of archives, hence becoming living archives shaping an Afro-futurist imagining of financial systems based on village banking.

MOVA is a project that uses the International Standard Content Code to make a light fingerprint of a video and register it with a Web Monetization wallet on a distributed ledger through a desktop app; then uses CiviCRM to execute a revenue-sharing agreement for it. These new approaches could support both filmmakers and rightsholders in making works available under Web Monetization, while broadening the spaces and platforms that can share, monazite and champion them.

Producing Web Monetized videocasts, short films, feature articles and interviews that showcase how global cultures are reshaping the ballet world. The performing arts, especially dance, typically rely on live, in-person audiences to showcase their work and to monetize artistic creation. Online, most performing arts groups offer their content for free. We believe that Web Monetization technology presents an opportunity to revolutionize the performing arts industry, bringing arts to broader audiences than could ever attend theatres and providing new streams of income for creators and performers.
