Recapping The Dwelling Workshop!
On Saturday - Author Doug Karr (@dougkarr) and artist Ophelia Fu (@opheliafu) hosted a workshop on their collaborative novel Dwelling. The workshop was part of The Crypto Renaissance Exhibition in Brooklyn, NY.
Dwelling is a character-driven crime novel, inspired by true events, about a vicious landlord who violently works to eradicate his long-term tenants to flip their rent-stabilized Lower East Side apartments.

Visionary blockchain artist Ophelia Fu created 60 original ink on paper artworks for the serialized Steem blockchain premiere publication of Dwelling - a wonderful collaboration which grew organically out of the blockchain. Karr and Ophelia Fu met digitally through the STEEM blockchain, then in person in Lisbon at Steemfest. Soon after they began planning their collaboration on the novel Dwelling, with inspired results.
The modern-day tenement in Dwelling serves as a pressure cooker where culture, class and capitalism collide, forcing the interconnected tenants to fight for their futures, and increasingly their lives. The main characters’ stories interweave, bringing the neighborhood to life. The tenement’s inhabitants are a vibrant menagerie of misfits that serve as the novel’s chorus, pulling back the curtain on the insidious side of gentrification and a landlord who will stop at nothing to flip his treasured dwellings.

Exhibitions like this are the one that helps popularise the steem blockchain and have more and more people join into it. Will surely help in bringing in more and more people to know and invest in the crypto world.

This is the beauty of the steem blockchain; creating lasting and creative connections across vast distances that last a long time. Just look at what @opheliafu and @dougkarr have created; it is the kind of collaborative effort through which great creations are birthed.
Every time I read about steemians moving into the traditional creative space with their creations, I get excited as I believe that they always will do well. Why you may ask? Well the steem blockchain does not only encourage creativity, it also encourages the willingness to experiment and that is its greatness. Such experimentation will definitely yield fruits as new and better ways of seeing the world are therefore expressed as a result.

Excellent initiative and creative proposal, @sndbox. Having these talented artists, Doug Karr and Ophelia Fu organizing a workshop on their collaborative novel Dwelling is already a very significant and applausible development. The plot of the novel is interesting and the workshop is very dynamic. Let us hope that these initiatives will continue to improve everyone, especially those of us who live at steemit.

If I had not been so busy this Summer I would have made the trip for this. But hopefully such a thing will happen again and I will indeed try to be there.
