Designing Participation in the Digital Age

Concept

Historically, minority cultures have struggled to share their traditions with mainstream society or pass them on to future generations due to limited resources. To address these challenges, there is a need for new platforms where community members can actively express their culture and engage in social dialogue. NFTs offer more than just digital proof of ownership—they have the potential to serve as platforms for supporting minority cultural identity and social participation.
