The first edition of the NFT Biennial: “The Catharsis of a Strange Prophecy”

Founder of NFT Biennial Rahim Unlu said, “Our first edition, which is shaped in the triangle of nature, man and technology, has the motto “Catharsis of a Strange Prophecy.” The conceptual framework of the biennial takes a poetic approach rather than staying to a rigid concept, instead posing open and abstract questions to the audience.This approach, symbolized by a three-point question mark, aims to let each audience find their own answers.In addition, 9 different pavilions curated by a team of 10 people in different parts of the world together in the metaverse as well as in physical galleries and turns into a completely phygital experience.”

About the NFT Biennale, TZ Connect’s Head of Arts and Culture Diane Drubay said: “The NFT Biennale is a celebration that uses art for social impact and technology for unity. Deeply rooted in Tezos’ community culture, we look forward to seeing these exhibitions flourish across worldwide.”
