Women and NFTs
Non-fungible tokens are already big business, whether you鈥檝e heard about them or not. But when it comes to those creating them, there鈥檚 a huge gender disparity.
Non-fungible tokens - or NFTs as they鈥檙e known - are already big business, whether you鈥檝e heard about them or not. But when it comes to those creating them, there鈥檚 a huge gender disparity.
We hear from two female artists - Michele Pred in Oakland and Yiying Lu from San Francisco - plus Liana Zavo who runs her own PR and marketing company. Women make up just 16% of all NFT artists - according to ArtTactic, a London-based company that focuses on research and data in the world of art. Anders Petterson from the group explains why. Plus Maliha Abidi, an artist, author and activist, and the creator of Women Rise NFT, says she鈥檚 determined to make a change.
