WORK STORIES
1 — Art Auction Afghanistan
It is hard to find the right words to talk about what is currently happening in Afghanistan.
Three weeks ago, we started thinking about ways to help. We came across many people that we relate to, who were asking too: how can we use what we do to have the most significant positive impact?
Our friend and artist Micki Rosi Richter approached us. The idea: an art auction to collect funds and send them to aid organizations directly. Working with crypto and NFTs ourselves, we started thinking about using an auction to directly send crypto funds to humanitarian aid organizations. When we looked around, we saw other calls for action in the crypto and NFT space, like Pierre Vannier on Twitter.
So, we decided to build an online auction platform where donors can bid on music and physical art pieces, but mainly NFTs.
While reaching out to organizations and looking for ways to help, we put together a website: https://artauctionafghanistan.org and minted our first artworks for the art auction using Zora. There are a few NFTs up for auction currently, and there will be more up soon. We hope that you will help us support this cause.
