Crypto Altruism Podcast Episode 24 - Walking Between Worlds - NFTs and economic empowerment for Indigenous communities
In this episode, we have the privilege of being joined by Tim Lea and Vanessa Lee-Ah Mat, Founders of Walking Between Worlds, a movement to energize and empower global Indigenous communities through NFTs. We discuss the launch of their Genesis collection, the role NFTs can play in helping Indigenous artists become self-sufficient, and the long-term vision for their exciting, community-driven project.
About Walking Between Worlds
Understanding the historical economic and technological barriers faced by Indigenous communities, Walking Between Worlds works with Indigenous communities to help them capitalize on the NFT market, leading to greater financial inclusion and self-determination for Indigenous artists.
They are bringing leading thinkers from within global Indigenous communities together with global experts in the cryptocurrency, technology and digital art spaces. Together, through community-based excellence, and supported by behavioural economics, their objective is to create an ecosystem to provide the foundations for global Indigenous communities to excel.
