Cooperation with the Ukrainian charity project META HISTORY continues - NFT artworks can now be seen in Riga shopping centres

Continuing cooperation with the Ukrainian charity project META HISTORY, NFT artworks inspired by 14 world-famous museums can now be seen in largest Riga shopping centres.

For us, this is a fundamentally important part of the MetaHistory initiatives. We hope that in the near future we will be joined by more and more countries and museums that represent the heritage of the cultures of their nations and humanity as a whole. Our MetaRooster is a symbol of the connection between the past and the future, a symbol of the connection between Ukrainian culture and the world culture of all mankind. Glory to Ukraine. We will never forget it,

says the representative from Ukrainian charity organization Meta History Museum of War.

It's a digital copy of the famous ceramic piece, which is among the few objects that survived in March the Russian occupation in a small town near Kyiv. It is already a symbol of the resilience of Ukrainians. And now it will also become a symbol of the nation's unity. Due to the art language that can be understood without words. The 3D model's surface replicates the paintings of famous artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Hieronymus Bosch, Jackson Pollock, Gerhard Richter, Takashi Murakami, Yves Klein, and Andreas Gursky. Every rooster was presented to the museum where the original picture is kept. Among them are Centre Pompidou, Prado, MoMA, Whitney, Guggenheim, New Museum of Contemporary Art, MCAC, MACBA, NAMU, Berardo, and KUMU.

The first museums to accept a gift from META HISTORY was the Latvian National Museum of Art — the largest depository of professional art in Latvia — and the National Art Museum of Ukraine — the leading state collection of national art in Ukraine. The basis for the painting of the Latvian rooster was the work of the well-known contemporary Latvian artist — Gints Gabrāns. His works are exhibited in many museums around the world. From now on, one of his works will represent not only Latvian art but the union of Ukrainian and Latvian cultural heritage. As a symbol of interaction between the two states.

Supporting this idea with their participation, prominent museums show that Ukrainian culture has an important place in the world and the Ukrainian nation — among the other free nations. The NFTs that make up the “Incredible Rooster” collection appear on the websites of museums to attract the attention of art lovers to the cultural symbol of the Ukrainian struggle.
