Multi-talented artist and curator, Nissi Ogulu is collaborating on a new project with Binance, the world’s biggest cryptocurrency platform, for her musical-themed NFTs titled ‘Jigsaw Tribe.’
Reports have it that there are many levels of availability and pricing in the digital arts. Holders will gain access to exclusive benefits such as invites to live events and art exhibitions, discounts on signed and printed digital art, and whitelisting rights for future NFT drops.
Speaking about the ‘Jigsaw Tribe’ Nissi Ogulu stated that she plans to take her audience across Africa, exploring hand-crafted musical instruments.
“The plan is to take the audience across the continent to discover hand-crafted musical instruments, in all their colorful glory, that may not be known to the rest of the world.” Nissi Ogulu says explaining the idea behind the project. “The pieces also reflect the music tradition of Africa, with its amazing sounds, in a hyper-contemporary and animated artistic expression.”
Also, Helen Hai, Executive VP of Binance and Head of Binance Charity spoke on what Binance hopes to achieve with the project.
“Binance Charity’s NFT for Good initiative connects creators, their art, and their cause. Jigsaw Tribe is yet another exciting example of this and it’s beautiful to see the series merging tradition and technology.
“Having spent many years working in Africa, the region, the people, and their culture holds a special place in my heart. I’m thrilled we’re able to collaborate with Nissi in a homage to her heritage.”
Between May 30th and June 20th, 2022, the premium artwork series will be auctioned off on the Binance NFT Marketplace.
The auction will be part of Binance Charity’s NFT For Good Campaign, a program that allows world-renowned artists to turn their art and creativity into meaningful global action that addresses social and humanitarian challenges.
A portion of the revenues will be donated to The Reach NG, a project that distributes over 6000 meals per month to poor individuals in Rivers State, as well as other ad-hoc community efforts.
