Cuban NFT Art | Gabriel Guerra Bianchini
In this episode, Gabriel Guerra Bianchini (Cuban photographer, NFT artist, humanitarian), discusses what's happening in Cuba around democracy, government crackdowns, and art. Independent media is illegal in Cuba, so people like Gabriel use these types of conversations — and tech such as VPNs, social media & blockchain — to have their voices heard.Gabriel expresses hope in his work, which is meant to fill people with "magic, utopia and poetry."  His story highlights the value of the NFT artist community: how they help one another, grow and support each other, earn a living from their art, and help advance democracy for the Cuban people and others who wish to be more free.
