Our April event “Building a Museum Curated by the People” held at Poolside, a Web3 hub and one of the first spaces in the Web3 district, welcomed our guests with an enjoyable breakfast experience on the outdoor terrace. Guests had the opportunity to socialize and explore the venue while sipping coffee.
The breakfast session also featured Vanessa Teodoro’s captivating mural, which incorporated mirrors and abstract cubes to symbolize safety, transparency, and trust in the Web3 and Blockchain world. The artwork creatively represented these concepts with the use of Hacken’s turquoise color and aquatic imagery.
Following Vanessa’s presentation, Pedro Oliveira, the co-founder of Talent Protocol and partner of the event, provided insights into Talent Protocol’s mission and its collaboration with Poolside as a significant player in the Web3 district. Pedro explained how Talent Protocol supports the next generation of builders through financial, emotional, and social assistance, offering a Web3 platform where individuals can create profiles, receive subscriptions and stakes, and benefit from financial endorsements and perks.
The keynote speaker, Aleksander Herforth Rendtslev, renowned for his contributions to the museum ecosystem, was introduced to the audience. Aleksander, co-founder of Arkive, discussed the concept of individual movement to collective movement. He shared his personal journey, from his initial fascination with economics, engineering to founding his own companies. Inspired by the vision of bringing people together, Aleksander embarked on creating a collective museum using Web3 and blockchain technology to foster transparency and trust. Arkive has now grown to 1000 members and challenges conventional museum notions, emphasising community participation and art ownership.
During the Q&A session, attendees engaged in insightful discussions with Aleksander, diving deep into collection management, loan opportunities, artist applications, and governance. Aleksander highlighted the significance of open dialogue and community involvement in shaping the museum experience.
The event concluded with guests appreciating Aleksander’s thought-provoking talk, as many continued to engage in conversations about Arkive.
