Celebrating Diversity and Inclusivity

Decentraland is preparing for its highly anticipated Metaverse Pride 2023 event, which will take place from June 27 to June 29 in collaboration with Polygonal Mind and Vegas City. The three-day celebration aims to honour the global LGBTQIA+ community's diversity, promote inclusivity, and add to the rich history of Pride Month.

Building on the success of last year's event, Decentraland Metaverse Pride 2023 promises to be even bigger, allowing users to explore a larger virtual area and participate in a variety of engaging activities. The event, inspired by Burning Man principles, emphasizes community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance within the Decentraland metaverse.

The virtual landscape for Pride 2023 will resemble an oasis within a desert, dynamically changing as more participants join to emphasize the importance of mutual support. Users will leave rainbow footprints as they navigate the virtual space, constantly encountering new environments that enhance the immersive experience.

Educational Experiences and Safe Spaces

One of the event's focal points is the display of artists from the LGBTQ+ Decentraland community. The Decentraland Foundation aims to provide queer artists with a platform, financial support, stability, and recognition. Talks with various artists are underway to ensure their participation in performances throughout the year, even if agreements are not finalized in time for the Pride celebration.

Along with virtual parades with player-created floats, the Decentraland Foundation is organizing a Metaverse Pride wearable design contest in the run-up to the event. This initiative allows participants to express their creativity while also actively participating in the Pride celebration.

The Ad Council's well-known "Love Has No Labels" campaign will also collaborate with Decentraland's virtual Pride event, which will celebrate diversity and inclusivity in the metaverse. Pride 2023 will feature gamified educational experiences, panel discussions, and Q&A sessions that will allow attendees to learn about the history and current affairs of the LGBTQ+ community, as well as global issues.

Decentraland recognizes its global audience and strives to ensure inclusivity by making educational content available to users all over the world. Kim Currier, the Decentraland Foundation's marketing lead, emphasizes the importance of inclusive content sharing, recognizing the varying availability of educational materials.

Safety and connection are still important aspects of the event. Participants must follow a code of conduct, and AI bots will be used to address any instances of misconduct and create a safe environment for all attendees. Throughout the virtual celebration, the organizers hope to instil love, respect, and acceptance.

Regardless of geographical or personal limitations, the metaverse allows people worldwide to participate in Pride. The Pride event on Decentraland allows users to experiment with clothing and interactions in a judgment-free environment, allowing for personal growth and self-expression.

Iara Dias, the head of Metaverse Pride, believes that real change can be achieved one avatar at a time. The metaverse's pseudonymity allows individuals to express themselves fully without the assumptions and questions that frequently arise in the physical world. This digital space serves as a repository.
