Protostars Virtual Exhibition is Live

Most people don’t expect strangers to believe in them. Maybe there’s a catch, a trick, or something expected in return. Belief is the most important thing we offer to our Protostars.

The concept of Protostars is simple: find people with a passion project, give them a small amount of money and surround them with a community of creators. Then give them our total, uncomplicated belief. Once someone is told their passion is important, that it really matters, they are given the freedom to imagine, explore and create. And once this cohort of Protostars was selected, that’s exactly what they did. They were made up of musical theatre directors, vintage camera builders, film makers, Web 3 builders, art curators, publishers, engineers and metaverse fashion designers from the far reaches of Australia and New Zealand. What we’ve seen in this cohort is just the beginning.

Belief changes everything.

Join us in celebrating everything they made. Our virtual exhibition was created by one of the Protostars from Season 2. Ivan Medrano is a digital fashion designer, an artist and a virtual world builder.

We’ve also made a limited edition zine which I’m told has just arrived at my house. If you’re interested in ordering one, drop me a line - joel at blackbird dot vc. When I get home I’ll put together an order form.

Thank you, supporters! More protostar cohorts coming in 2023.
