The Peng! Collective members feminist human rights activist Jelka Kretzschmar, digital artist and up-cycling designer Dominick Mouroz and writer and performer Rebecca Nea Alemee Meyer, will continue their work of Golden NFT Project. The project began with a larger collective of creatives to raise enough funds through the sale and circulation of NFTs to buy a “Golden Visa” for a family from Afghanistan stuck in the misery of Moria Refugee Camp on Lesvos, Greece. At the Barn, the work will expand on the possibilities of a creative circumvention of global inequality and persecution and ways to use art to aid refugees and migrants.
