PhotoVogue’s first NFT collection launches on Eco-Friendly Marketplace Voice
The partnership focuses on empowering new creators from underrepresented and
marginalized communities to reflect a diversity of perspectives
NEW YORK, 3 October 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Voice, the leading digital art marketplace, officially announces the artist lineup for their latest NFT Residency program, in partnership with PhotoVogue, is now live. The program marks Conde Nast’s PhotoVogue in its first entry into Web3 and focuses on emerging photographers from around the world.
The residency program and collection is an incredible opportunity to amplify the storytelling power of photography and empower diverse artists globally, nurturing their creativity in the digital space.
The NFT Residency was a one-month virtual experience where Voice helped PhotoVogue’s diverse portfolio of photographers learn how to successfully enter the Web3 world through digital workshops, mentorship and additional resources.
“The NFT space is built on the foundations of transparency, authenticity, inclusion and equality that are at the heart of what we do at Voice,” said Salah Zalatimo, CEO of Voice. “We are thrilled to help the photography arm of Vogue Magazine expand its horizons into the NFT space.”
The residency focused on the overarching theme of fairness and justice. Art produced covers complex themes such as the pandemic’s long-term effects on children, the difficulties of living in the middle of a war zone, the consequences of a recent major oil spill, how an identity can be denied and erased from representation, the fluid and abstract nature of identity and territory, and more.
“Every day we hear someone say that photography is dying. Well, I am convinced that instead, photography is very much alive and even if it acquires new functions and meaning, its power and magic will never cease to exist ,” so Alessia Glaviano, head of Global PhotoVogue. “NFTs and blockchain potentially present a whole new world for all this magic to unfold and for the photographers to express themselves.”
This is the latest NFT Residency program from Voice following the success of their first programs which included notable names in the art world such as Azu Nwagbogu, Kimberly Drew, Chad KnightMyriam Ben Salah, Misan Harriman, Alexander Gilkesand a diverse group of more than 40 creative artists from around the world.
The PhotoVogue Residency collection is available for purchase by credit card on Voice.com. New art will be released throughout the months of October and November.
