About the organizers
Soundbites Abundance is a project of Alas DAO - a coalition of projects with the mission to advance the OpenGuitar ecosystem. OpenGuitar started as a social-educational project with focus on STE(A)M educatiol (science, technology, engineering (arts) and math) for children and teenagers from disadvantaged backgrounds. We have activated a network of luthiers, educators and artists around the world to make craftsmanship and educational and artistic work economically viable and sustainable. Soundbites Abundance follows along our pathway to combine online and offline activities and explore publishing in the Web3.
