On July 21, META HISTORY launched its third NFT collection, Warline (https://metahistory.gallery/warline). This work consists of artwork that recounts the course of the war. Each of its key events is represented by one of hundreds of artists working in various fields of visual art, including oil painting, 3D, motion, generative graphics, calligraphy, and abstract painting. One of the exhibits was created by Artificial Intelligence.
“The first NFT museum in Ukraine – META HISTORY – has raised over $1 million for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The project team sent all proceeds to Aid For Ukraine, a crypto fund dedicated to the Armed Forces, and while the NFT cannot stop Russian missiles, it provides a way for Ukraine to develop as an innovation-friendly country and rebuild its economy,” said Ukraine’s IT Development Deputy Minister of Digital Transformation, Oleksandr Bornyakov.
The team behind the project will share details of the third installment of the collection during an online event at Metaverse on July 28. Visitors will be able to view 30 pieces from the new drop in a virtual exhibition space provided by project partner Party Space, and hear more about the process of creating the pieces and future plans from the art directors and artists involved in the project. Event announcements and information on how to participate will be posted on the museum’s Metahistory social media pages in the coming weeks.
“We see great potential for fundraising for Ukraine through NFT Art. We are currently expanding that functionality with additional options so that more people can purchase artwork. And we hope to see the Freemint implemented along with the next drop. There will also be regular Metaverse events where you can learn more about the project and behind the scenes,” META HISTORY museum founder VK.
