For this exhibition we curated a wide range of artwork from over 100 emerging and established women and non-binary artists from 39 countries. The exhibition includes over 150 NFTs that cover a wide range of artistic mediums including animation, artificial intelligence, glitch, video art, film, gif, 3-dimensional glb, collage, generative art, photogrammetry, poetry, pixel art, oil painting, photography, ASCII/PETSCII art, and digital painting.
Our selection process sought female and non-binary presenting artists who are working regularly on the Tezos blockchain. We first made sure to verify their identity. Then we considered the entirety of the created work by each artist, and selected 1 to 4 artworks from their collection. Further we looked at which works the artist was holding in their collection, and how they operate within the larger community; what they are saying, doing, and being as a human within the Web3 ecosystem.
Our curation involves the purchase of existing artwork on the Tezos blockchain. We exhibit this work over a period of several months both in our digital museum at mowna.org and in our collections on objkt and fxhash. We price the work at a long term value to support the artist, the market, and the blockchain into the future.

In its three years of running an online digital art museum, mowna has produced seven exhibitions, including two on the Ethereum blockchain and now a second on the Tezos blockchain. The museum has created an AI curator, and hosts the mowna Biennial, art exhibitions, screenings, and events. mowna experiments with sustainable financial models for Web3 that support artists. Our work is thoughtful, slow, quiet, contemplative, and reflective. We approach curation with inclusive values and welcome collaborators that share these ideals.
