The Hindu
NFT Malayali has created a productive collective of artists of Kerala, showcasing work, encouraging creative collaborations and teaching classes on how best to ‘drop’ art virtually via lively discussions on social media
Anantha Krishnan Nadamel’s first brush with NFTs (non-fungible tokens) was in March, 2021, thanks to a friend. Since then, the 23-year-old visual designer with an IT company in Kochi has sold 26 NFTs (perhaps one of the highest for an Indian artist) and formed NFT Malayali, a global collective of Malayali artists for the NFT space. With NFT Malayali he wants to create a community of Malayali artists introducing them to the new, largely cryptocurrency-driven digital space.
