As we worked on this project, we slowly realized that if we wanted to keep making this series on our own, we’d have to find some way to fund it. We never really wanted to take funding from any traditional source because we wanted to stay independent.
That wish to stay independent is what got us thinking about crowdfunding. We’d always seen artists online funding their own projects through platforms like Kickstarter, so we decided we’d do our own version of it during the exhibition. We even set up a crowdfunding booth and made a few goals for ourselves based on how much we could raise. Our first goal was that if we could raise BDT 180,000, we’d make an animated intro for the series.
But we also didn’t want people to leave empty-handed. So we decided that anyone who donated would receive gifts depending on how much they contributed. For that, we designed a bunch of merchandise specially for the exhibition.
Honestly, we had no idea what to expect.
We were completely overwhelmed by the amount of support we received from everyone over the three days. We are so, so grateful to every single person who stopped by, talked to us, donated, took something, or simply believed in what we’re trying to make.
We had promised that we’d let everyone know how much we raised, so we’re keeping our word.
Throughout the three days, we raised BDT 75,500.
And honestly… we never expected to get anywhere close to that.
Thank you so much. This means more to us than we can put into words. It motivates us, inspires us, and reminds us why we started this project in the first place.
In fact, we’re so happy and grateful for all the support that we’ve decided something.
Even though we haven’t reached our first goal yet, we’re going to move forward as if we did.
To everyone who supported us; thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts.
We’ll keep you all updated on the mini series, and on the animated intro as we keep moving forward. ❤️
