Welcome to Axé DAO
A digital organization for the Capoeira Community
Capoeira is kept alive today by the people who practice it, teach it, and share in the joy it brings. Groups are scattered across the globe with different styles, traditions, and lineages that all trace back to the early mestres over 100 years ago and beyond into Brazilian slavery.
We don't know exactly how many groups and practitioners there are worldwide. Each Capoeira group cultivates its own alliances, yet all share in the spirit of camaraderie that defines our global family
Axé DAO is an organization in service of this community and to support those who live and breathe this art form.
About
Our mission is to support, preserve, and enrich the practice of Capoeira with digital tools. We want to create economic benefit in the Capoeira ecosystem.
Imagine a space where every member of the Capoeira community has a voice in decision-making and together we build a platform that is truly ours. Created by Capoeiristas for Capoeiristas.
To populate the genealogy tree of Capoeira we made a registry app specific for Capoeira groups and individuals. Create your profile and register your group here.
Ultimately, we want to fund individual Capoeira projects and events and channel financial support into the community where it's needed.
Organization
DAO stands for Digital Autonomous Organization. It is our model of governance that facilitates transparent, equitable decision-making processes among its members to collectively hold funds and decide how to use them.
Goals
Our goals revolve around creating useful tools for the community, the teachers and the students.
