In the context of war we’ve organized the Rescue team (6 volunteers from the community) to support artists and other members of the community (curators, researchers, art critics, journalists, developers etc.) We’ve made a list of Ukrainian crtypoartists to promote them and connect with NFT projects that are raising funds for Ukraine. We are constantly asking members of the community about any possible help we can provide and already helped more then 30 artists by providing financial help, information about psychotherapists that could help for free and mostly helped with logistical questions of evacuation. Also we’re sharing all valuable information in the telegram group 1500+ people.

This assistance can be provided in coordinating the actions, as well as by finding support within the community from other participants.
