May: Art Fair, Zodiac, Zilliqa & Y-Lab

Yes, I’m completely aware that I still owe you all Part 2 of my Origin Story (™) which would specifically delve into how I got into NFTs but there’s just too much art and events to be done and I must keep up with the updates as they come!

I have a whole bunch of things lined up for this month:

May 7: Art Fair Philippines

I’ll be speaking as a panelist together with squirterer, xlvrbk, gabusch, and algoriddims about my cryptoart journey for Art Fair Philippines on May 7. Art Fair PH is the biggest art fair in the country and they took their event online for the first time where they are featuring digital art and NFTs! In interviews, I’ve talked about how NFTs have completely changed how we perceive the value of digital art, so it was really exciting to find out that Art Fair is making digital art and NFTs a big focus of their event.

The online vernissage recently concluded last night, where curators Goltra and gabusch gave a virtual tour of Narra Gallery together with algoriddims. There will be another tour happening this Saturday on May 8 which will be open to the public so do register at Art Fair's website if you’re interested in this as well as their other events.

May 9: The Narra Gallery Zodiac Series

I’ve been trickling hints about a big drop happening in May and it’s so exciting to finally be able to talk about it! I worked on the Narra Gallery Zodiac Series together with this incredible roster of artists:

May 21: Zilliqa x Y-Lab

It was my participation in radarboy3000’s Crypto Art Week Asia back in January that put me on the radar (heh) to be a speaker for this event entitled “How the Art & Culture Sector can leverage NFTs” by Zilliqa and Y-lab (National Gallery Singapore’s innovation incubator). Aside from being an NFT artist, they felt that my involvement with Narra Gallery would offer a different perspective which I can share with the audience.

Registration for this talk is now open!

That's it!...For now

Setting up Narra Gallery for different events and exhibits, speaking engagements, making/marketing/selling art - the crypto space has really kept me very busy and it's all has been so exciting. If you told me months ago that I'd be doing all these things during a pandemic, I wouldn't believe you! The opportunities just keep on coming and I'm trying my best to balance it all. Thanks to everyone who have stuck with me in my journey thus far. I'm pretty sure there is so much more to come!
