The Beijing 2022 Collection depicts the regime’s oppression of the Tibetan people, the Uyghur genocide, the dismantling of democracy in Hong Kong, the regime’s omnipresent surveillance systems, and lack of transparency surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.

Each of the five works will be minted as 2022 editions, and collectors will have the opportunity to write their own message of opposition to China’s authoritarian regime onto the blockchain as part of the minting process, preserving it as a public decentralized record of protest.

This collection is a collective act of censorship resistance and fundraiser that will donate 10% of proceeds to the Art in Protest Residency, a collaboration between the Gray Area Foundation for the Arts and the Human Rights Foundation. grayarea.org/press/chinese-…
