NFT photos of anti-lockdown demonstrations in China proliferate OpenSea
Non-fungible tokens representing images of mainland China protests against the zero-Covid regulation are now available for purchase on OpenSea, the largest NFT marketplace.
A Polygon-based NFT collection of 135 photographs named “Silent Speech” depicts the protests with an opening bid of 0.01 ETH (US$11.74) in an auction that began on Sunday and lasted seven days.
Another NFT collection, Blank Paper Movement, comprises of 24 stylised photographs primarily depicting protestors clutching blank papers to symbolize the repression of free expression. At 3:00 p.m. on Monday, Hong Kong time, the minimum price for Ethereum-based NFTs was 10 Ether (US$11,720).
Protests erupted in Urumqi, the capital of China’s northwestern province Xinjiang, after a fatal fire on Thursday, with locals rushing to the streets and the internet to express their outrage and reservations about zero-Covid lockdowns. The growth of the protests was exacerbated by the local government’s assertion that the victims’ incapacity to save themselves contributed to the tragedy.
