CANAFRICA NFT EXHIBITION 2022

Concept

The construction of the global-contemporary subject involves accepting the media power structures that construct our vision of the world: Westerners know New York’s Fifth Avenue better than Dakar or the Sahara through television series, films and the media in general. This happens because we define our identity and construct our reality on the basis of the symbols that surround us in our daily lives. On the other hand, language, as a symbolic construction, is a double-edged sword: the language differences between Canarians, Senegalese and Nigerians have meant that these cultural barriers have been maintained even more over time.

Thanks to crypto-art and social networks, the possibility of a real artistic community building has arisen, with people who manage themselves, and therefore, the possibility of building a real cultural connection from art as equals.

From nftcanarias we have decided to move forward in the creation of these real creative connections with artists from the African continent, especially with Nigerian and Senegalese artists. This task, far from simple, allows us to advance in the construction of a hopeful vision of a global society conceived from social equality.
