AS FEATURED IN
THE BLACK ARTS PROJECT
BAP is a curated NFT project that celebrates and supports Black creativity.
We are collaborating with established and new Black artists in the design, music and art fields to make exclusive and innovative NFT collections that will be used to support important Black causes from grass roots to the metaverse.
Our first xCollab is with the brilliant Black artist Aurélia Durand - a collection of 10,000 unique generative NFT artworks that will begin our mission to create an inclusive Web3 creative community that will harness the power of the Black Arts.
“Positive change through creativity”
First Edition NFT Drop
Our exclusive First Edition NFT Collection will feature 10,000 unique generative artworks from the acclaimed Black artist AURÉLIA DURAND.
Paris-based Aurélia is known for her striking work for Apple and Google as well as for her illustrations on The New York Times bestseller This Book is Anti-Racist.
Her first iconic NFT collection is a contemporary take on traditional African Art, coupled with influences from 80s HipHop through to fellow French artist Henri Matisse.
THE BLACK ARTS PROJECT x Aurélia Durand NFT Collection will mint later this March.
