Step inside Havana's 'CryptoCuban Social Club,' where artists are creating crypto art for online collectors
HAVANA, Nov 2 - Artists in Cuba have announced a new spin on the fast-expanding world of crypto art for online collectors, with plans to sell 1,492 digital portraits of Cubans through non-fungible tokens to kick off the "CryptoCuban Social Club."
Buyers of the digital portraits can interact with the "CryptoCubans" after the launch in December, via online platforms and eventually, live concerts and parties in Cuba. That will create a unique "community that will connect our music and culture with the rest of the World," the artists said. "The stories that people have told us literally encompass Cuban society, our daily life, our pain, our dreams," Guerra said in an interview.Cuban photographer Gabriel Guerra works in his studio in Havana, Cuba, October 29, 2021.

"This can bring Cuban artists, not only the freedom to create, but the freedom to connect with collectors all over the world," Guerra said.
