International photobank Depositphotos, in collaboration with the META HISTORY project and the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine, launched NFT-collection “Renaissance” to raise funds for the reconstruction of the destroyed cultural objects and monuments.

The photo content platform partnered with seven Ukrainian artists to create 38 non-fungible tokens. Each artwork of the six thematic series presents a unique vision of how bombed-out buildings might look after being reconstructed. Generating the creatives, the artists reimagined the personal emotions, memories, and dreams they put into the works.

In the NFT collection, you can find concepts of the Donetsk airport, academic theater in Mariupol, House of Culture in Irpin, Mykolaiv Regional State Administration, Ukrainian Musical and Drama Theater in Lugansk, Regional Children’s Library in Chernihiv, and dozens of other objects.

“The project is very important for Depositphotos because we have many Ukrainians on our team. We have supported Ukraine since the beginning of the war and continue to help. The hard and cruel war is not over yet, but we are already thinking about tomorrow, about the preservation of cultural heritage for future generations. That is why we have teamed up with artists to help rebuild destroyed sites. This NFT project introduces people to the monuments of Ukraine and allows them to contribute to the country’s future,” says Alina Volchek, marketing director of Depositphotos.

NFT arts are available for multiple purchases at the META HISTORY museum.  The funds will be transferred to the cryptocurrency wallet of the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine. The ability to purchase each work is opened gradually.

“Russia has destroyed hundreds of Ukrainian museums, theaters, and cultural centers in six months of full-scale war. The losses amount to about 6 billion euros, and this amount continues to grow. Therefore, it is very important to support creative initiatives to restore cultural sites in Ukraine and involve as many people as possible in this process,” says Minister of Culture Alexander Tkachenko.
