ELLXS - the Spanish inclusive pronoun for them.

It includes all of us.

 

ELLXS is a movement. A photography/documentary NFT project to visibilize and support the LGBTQ+ community. Our first collection consists of 2500 moving portraits of trans and non binary people.

60% of proceeds will be donated to LGBTQ+ causes, chosen by the community.

We are a diverse and international team of creators in defense of equality and inclusion. The artist, Cecilia Villaverde is an experimental filmmaker and visual artist who has been documenting the trans and LGBTQ+ community in Mexico City since 2017.

We strive to create a safe online community that welcomes every person no matter their identity, culture or sexuality, allies and new allies from every corner of the world that want to understand and support.

Ellxs celebrates the diversity of human experience speaking up against discrimination of any type. The project is a pledge against exclusion, in favor of radical inclusion, equality and visibility.

We want to humanize the digital world; behind every word, every portrait, and every NFT piece there is a human story to be discovered.

The Movement

 

Launch.

 

A genesis collection of 2500 moving portrait NFTs, released on the Ethereum blockchain in June 2022. The ELLXS community treasury will receive 60% of the proceeds.

 

Decide Together.

 

The goal of ELLXS is to speak up for the LGTBQ+ community and give back to causes that align with it.

As a holder you get to decide what nonprofits the treasury supports. Submit causes, vote, and distribute funds as a community.

 

The Future.

 

Genesis + two more ELLXS NFT collections launching in 2022!

Using our founder Cecilia’s experience as a film director the team would like to produce a full feature documentary film portraying a story chosen by the ELLXS community.

Grow the community to 10,000+ diverse and active members.

Passive income on community funds through yield farming (the crypto version of a savings account) to provide a sustainable source of funding for LGBTQ+ causes & creators. Forever.
