The Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto, also known as MOCA, and Hatecopy, also known as Maria Qamar, partnered up to debut a contemporary art NFT. The Toronto-based artist highlights important themes of patriarchy, the role of women in Bollywood, and the difficulties of 21st-century Desi life.
The new launch includes 25 digital copies of the artist's In Pyraar With a Superstar! piece. The art is available for digital purchase exclusively on the Rarible platform for 0.08 Ethereum until May 9th, 2022. According to Kathleen Bartels, executive director and CEO at the Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto, Hatecopy's work is "a testament to the vibrancy and diversity of the art community in Toronto, and the cultural fabric of the GTA."
