Upcoming Drops: Oct. 30—Nov. 5
Let’s face it: The Web3 space moves really fast. Considering how quickly things can change in the metaverse, a week in NFTs might as well be a month IRL.
Don’t get us wrong — the merrier, the more people onboarded into the space. But because of the constant influx of great art and ideas, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to keep up with all the news, launches, and general happenings.
Well, you can put the days of endless Twitter and Discord scrolling behind you as we pull together a weekly list of upcoming drops you don’t want to miss. Here’s what to look out for this week.
Adam and Hewan
Who: Yatreda, a family of artists from Ethiopia who makes art in the style of “tizita,” which means nostalgia and longing for the past.
What: Digital art collection
When: Nov. 1
Where: Fellowship Trust
Why: In their words: “Adam and Hewan is another story which belongs to the world, but the way we artistically interpret it is based on my understanding studying the Tewahedo tradition. We all want to see ourselves in the first people, and this week, the world will know our Yatreda version.”

Who: Tustont
What: An experimental portrait series of 1/1s called “LowProfiles”

Each distorted portrait provokes introspection and questions the intricate layers of identity in our digital age.
