NFTCulture’s Pro Bono Role in “Can Art Change the War?” | NFT CULTURE | Web3 Culture NFTs and Crypto Art

At NFT Culture, we are proud to have played a crucial role in the success of “Can Art Change the War?” project by providing pro bono support in contract development and other important aspects. This initiative, led by artist JR, captured the hearts of many as it harnessed the power of NFTs to provide much-needed assistance to tens of thousands of Ukrainian families in a time of crisis.

We would like to take a moment to recognize the outstanding contributions of our CTO, Michael, who has been a visionary in the NFT space. All smart contract development for the project was the brainchild of Michael, whose expertise and dedication helped bring the project to fruition. We would also like to thank James from Digital Practice for his wonderful partnership and thought leadership in integrating traditional artists into the web3 ecosystem. Their combined efforts have been instrumental in the success of “Can Art Change the War?” project.

• The project delivered 25 tonnes of goods to the Ukrainian border, Lviv and Kiev, providing relief to over 100,000 families during the crisis.
• Access to safe drinking water was improved for more than 6 million Ukrainians through the deployment of 20 vehicles with water filtration systems.
• Collaboration with Italian NGOs IRIS and Onuka facilitated education and community building programs for refugees in Italy.
• Support for Ukrainian artists was provided through concerts in France and the European Podcast Tour, which offers a platform for artists across Europe.
• NFT Culture is honored to have partnered with JR, an incredible artist who used his talent to create tangible, positive change in the lives of Ukrainian refugees.
• The fusion of creativity, technology and compassion demonstrated the potential of NFTs and the wider community to bring joy and hope to the world in times of need.

With our expertise in NFTs and contract development, NFT Culture was able to contribute to the smooth execution of the project, ensuring that the funds raised through the NFT sale were directed to those in need. Our pro bono assistance was instrumental in maximizing the impact of the initiative, demonstrating the power of collaboration and the positive contributions that the NFT community can make to important social issues.

One of the main highlights of “Can Art Change War?” The project was the delivery of 25 tonnes of goods, including non-perishable food, hygiene products and carpets, to the Ukrainian border, Lviv and Kiev. These essential supplies provided much-needed relief to over 100,000 Ukrainian families during the crisis.

Another important aspect of the project was the improvement of access to safe drinking water for more than 6 million Ukrainians. With infrastructure in the region severely damaged, clean drinking water had become a luxury for many. The project team deployed twenty vehicles equipped with water filtration systems, capable of producing 100,000 M3 of drinking water every day. These vehicles primarily served local communities in war-torn areas, providing an important lifeline for the affected population.

Following the release of the NFTs, a dedicated team was formed. With the help of partners on the ground in Ukraine, the team was able to evaluate the needs of the population and deliver fast and relevant assistance. Between March and June 2022, ten trucks drove from Paris, France to Medyka on the Polish border. There, a team responsible for sending the shipments in Ukraine took over.

In addition to addressing basic needs, “Can Art Change War?” the project also focused on the long-term well-being of Ukrainian refugees. Working with the Italian NGOs IRIS and Onuka, the project facilitated education and community building programs for refugees transitioning into Tuscan society. These programs included language courses, professional development training, cultural activities and a summer camp for children. By participating in these initiatives, refugees were able to establish a sense of belonging and community, easing the burden of adapting to a new environment.

Recognizing the importance of supporting the arts in turbulent times, the project also sought to promote Ukrainian artists both at home and abroad. This was achieved by organizing concerts in France and collaborating with the European Podcast Tour organized by DFT Magazine. This mobile podcast and gallery toured Europe, providing a platform for Ukrainian artists scattered across the continent to share their voices and creative works.

NFT Culture is honored to have contributed pro bono support to “Can Art Change the War?” project. Our expertise in contract development and the NFT space helped ensure the success of this initiative, which has had a profound impact on the lives of tens of thousands of Ukrainian families. This collaboration serves as strong evidence of the potential for NFTs and the wider community to bring about positive change in the face of adversity.

We cannot express enough gratitude to JR, an incredible artist who used his talent to bring attention to the plight of Ukrainian refugees and create tangible, positive change in their lives. JR’s dedication to using his art as a force for good is truly inspiring, and we at NFT Culture feel immensely privileged to have been a small participant in this remarkable project. Our collaboration with JR, Michael, James and all the dedicated partners has shown how the fusion of creativity, technology and compassion can bring joy and hope to the world in times of need.
