#WESTANDWITHUKRAINE
TOA Klub auction by NFT Creators Klub
Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is an independent and humanitarian NGO and is supplying much-needed medical help to Ukraine.
To maintain its political neutrality, the organisation relies exclusively on donations, making Klub 4 Ukraine all the more urgent.
Besides on-site medical help, MSF provides medical evacuations by train, mobile clinics, urgent medical supplies, health worker training, and cold weather supplies to those most affected by the Ukrainian war.
All donations gathered by the auction will be sent directly to MSF (the only funds that we are unable to collect for MSF are the gas fees incurred by the fund transition from the TOA wallet to DWB). The auction is strictly humanitarian and not-for-profit.
Digital designer and generative artist, leveraging machines to create meaning and beauty for humans.
The piece is about the feeling of dismay caused by war, aggression, and destruction. It's a piece about realities being shattered by human stupidity. But it's also a prayer for hope and an ode to the fiercely courageous ones opposing.

The rhythm of this Lotus is in sync with a relaxed breath...by calm abiding, you are reducing your aggression, the cause of hate and blame. A war roots from the same aggression, only boiled to an extreme. May the war end sooner due to your contribution.
ARTWORKINSTAGRAMLukas Taido is a Berlin-based, but internationally working musician, sound- and media-artist. His works include audio installations and audio/video-installations, concepts and music/sound-design for large-scale projection mappings, CD and vinyl releases, film-, tv- and theatre music.
The musical concept includes elements from the old Ukrainian song "Our Mother" and its lyrics. Sounds resemble distant war, radio communication, church organs. The driving emotion is the powerlessness and pain looking at the countless tragedies of this unjust and terrifying war.
ARTWORKINSTAGRAMDeborshi Seal is a conceptual digital artist living in Berlin. Primarily working with the medium of photographs, he uses image-making as means to process and express the impressions of day to day living. His works seek to capture beauty and hope in the face of tragedy.
The photos in this series consist of impressions captured during the early months of Corona. The first photo is a sunset abstracted to the Ukrainain Flag colors, quite by accident. The dried plaster caught in an old Soviet Bloc country, a flame and a flower as analogy for hope.
ARTWORKINSTAGRAMCanadian artist based in Spain and Berlin, co-founder of Aurigin, Camp+us and T-10 studios Berlin, Nika dedicates her practices to mindfulness and spiritual growth.

There are no cherry trees in basements. It’s spring in the Northern Hemisphere. The best time to enjoy signs of spring just like cherry blossoms all over the place, if there would not be a war. The artwork is visualizing the cruelty Ukrainian children facing in this current war.

This NFT, stylized as a piece of traditional Ukrainian folk art, depicts how the horrors of war continue to spread into the heart, psychic & social structure of Ukraine. Weapons are now growing where flowers once bloomed, in a plea for the world to stop the spread of war.
ARTWORKINSTAGRAMTOA’s NFT Creators Klub, was in the middle of teaching members how they could fuse art with Web3 when the war in Ukraine broke out. Members (a diverse group of highly-talented artists) decided to combine their newfound NFT knowledge with their inherent drive to create for good.
Besides individually contributing to try and help victims of this brutal attack, a question came up: What could they achieve with true artistic collaboration in a Web3 age?
And so, Klub 4 Ukraine was set up, with TOA’s Klub acting as the collaborative driving force behind this joint project. The aim was to produce a collective piece of art. They ended up with a project that was far more than the sum of its parts.
The unique nature of this project is in part due to the diverse background of its artists. This cohort of artists is made out of sculptures, painters, and musicians from Brazil, Mexico, England, France, Germany, and the USA – just to name a few countries and disciplines!
Within a month, they had created an eclectic NFT project with one coherent vision: to help Ukrainian people with one of the most desperately needed things: medical aid.
We are very happy to know that you would like to help the Ukrainian people at this difficult time. Along with the NFT itself (Partybid), to express our gratitude, we will be giving out two types of NFT awards plus TOA community benefits to our contributors.

Additionally, 6 artists have decided to airdrop their individual artworks that make up this collective NFT. For everyone else who donated, we will have a live raffle at the end of this auction to find out which 6 contributors will be involved. If you win the raffle, you will get:
Most of these NFT creators are already talented artists in their own right. They are all alumni of TOA’s NFT Creators Klub. Whilst, at the moment, their efforts are being channeled into Klub 4 Ukraine, as they grow within the NFT space, their pieces should only increase in value.
Where does this road lead? To real help for Ukrainians in need.
The 12 participating artists come from very distinct international and interdisciplinary backgrounds. They work with various mediums, ranging from the physical – such as audio and sculpture – to the purely digital – such as photo, 3D and immersive media, and Web3 design.
You can click on each artist’s profile to read more information. You can also go to their social links at the bottom of their profiles and reach out. They would be happy to hear from you!
