About the event:
EKTA x Safra | March 26
We face individuals thirsting for more engaging and combined experiences. By this thought, EKTA gave birth to this immersive event. It´s one day event full of art and creation. Throughout the day you will have a hybrid program that hosts workshops, live performances, live music and a collective exhibition - photography, illustration, sculpture and painting & much more involving experiences. Here, you will have the opportunity to tattoo your first hand poked tattoo! We partnered with more than five different pop-ups, who will be allocated around the venue - fashion, accessories, handicraft and food & drink (pizza, vegan food, specialty coffee…) pop-ups.
The doors are open to a transgenerational and international audience, the ones that seek to become more intimately involved with different creative universes. To add, the event will be live streamed with the help of Left Bank Magazine ( https://leftbankmag.com/ ) an international print and digital publication that covers underground and primarily undiscovered artists.
Let’s make this artistic creation happen.
The vision of EKTA is to expand the artistic background into a broader market, into NEAR´s ecosystem, so everyone can get access to every form of art that we work whether live, online or digital (minted).
This event is just the beginning!!
