Artistic Creation & Culture Fusion

Each NFT is a unique "data painting" generated by combining traditional paintings by Yawanawa sisters Nawashahu and Mukashahu with real-time weather data such as wind speed, wind direction, temperature. This data is transformed into dynamic visual art through Refik Anadol's algorithms, taking on the traditional shapes and colors of the Yawanawa culture. The soundtrack is based on Yawanawa's traditional ballads, enhancing the immersion of the work.

proceeds from the Social Impact & Funding

Project will be donated directly to the Yawanawa community to support projects such as cultural preservation, education, sustainable infrastructure development, and more. According to official figures, the project has raised about $3 million to fund programs in the Yawanawa tribe.

holders of rights and disputes

not only own the digital artwork, but also receive physical artwork (44x22-inch archival print) signed by Yawanawa chiefs Nixiwaka and Refik Anadol. In addition, the success of the project has demonstrated the potential of Web3 technology to preserve Indigenous culture and the environment, becoming a focus of attention in the art and technology worlds.

Winds of Yawanawa is not only an NFT art project, but also a model of cultural preservation and community support. Through a combination of digital art and weather data, it showcases the deep connection of Yawanawa culture to the natural environment and raises funds for its community to support sustainable development projects. The project provides valuable experience for the application of Web3 technology in social responsibility and cultural preservation.
