Primavera Eterna trains artists from around the world in Medellín’s culture and today’s emerging technologies, inviting them to create work with real educational value.
For their final projects, residents use what they learn about Medellín’s culture and art to develop creative projects that can help local communities engage with emerging technology.
For Anastasia, this became ELSEWHERE, a project exploring home, memory, displacement, and the stories we carry with us. Through research, participation, and digital tools, she turned a personal question into a shared creative process.

WAIT & HOPE IS ON DONATE.GG
Our mission? Get the whole world on-chain through education and culture
We’re thrilled to announce this collab! Our team has spent years fighting an uphill battle to educate people about web3: we’ve organized 40+ international onboarding events and have supported thousands of creators in web3. After endless hours of fundraising, we’re still looking for support because many still don't see accessible education as a priority.
We met the @donatedotgg team and they set us up the same day of our first convo, becoming the fastest partnership we’ve ever had. Their support and excitement reminded us of the power of this community. Now, we want to show that Web3 DOES CARE about onboarding because decentralization and autonomy work best the more people are using these tools.
Please consider donating to our campaign to support our global cultural initiatives (link below)
And always remember,
Wait and Hope
PS. read more about our programs on our site and reach out if you have any questions :)

Yesterday, @nszcollections, @ygbwrites, and @kaya_mallow stayed after hours the penultimate Primavera Eterna residency session to onboard 3 traditional artists onto the blockchain.
Our team as well with @kaya_mallow spent time to teach these artists how to create their own wallets and mint their work on-chain.
This is how our community grows. 💙
Residency by @WaitHopeFound & @OneLoveArtDAO.

Why should physical public art still matter in today's digital age?
In a world dominated by people surfing screens and internet noise, physical spaces serve more than just scenic decoration, they are places of civic connection.
Public art can create spaces where people come together, participate, and build relationships within their communities.
However today, public art is shifting from something we look at to something we build together.

It was a pleasure to chat about collecting on Tuesday Night with @Jeni_Pepen @rare_viktor & @eleonorabrizi during @Romenewmedia - once again @vandaloruins, you’ve done an incredible job on this project and am honored to be a small part of it.
🗣️ Here are some of the questions from the panel and a short summary of my takes:
1. Can you tell us a bit about your origin story and a bit about what you collect?
2. Can you remember the first digital artwork you collected? What made you buy that specific piece and would I buy it again today?
3. When considering new artworks, what makes you decide that something belongs in your collection?
4. What do you think the role of collectors is today?
5. If someone in the audience wanted to start collecting digital art tomorrow, what is one piece of advice you would give them?
I’ll be answering each question in the thread below, but I want to quickly give a shout out to some patrons / builders who help us make projects like this possible:
@redbeardnft @kaya_mallow @mallowdotart @Pedromiranda @0xMQQ @Shills_81 @solana @JTLissPhotoArt @WaitHopeFound @30CamposEliseos. Thank you for believing in everything we’re building- your contributions to the space make a huge difference for artists all over the world 🌎

Next Friday, the Wait & Hope Foundation turns 1 year old 🎂
What started out as three friends (@mariano_cuartas, @nszcollections, & @ygbwrites) sharing an interest for art, culture, and learning turned into a venture that has rewarded us endlessly since the start...
In just 12 months, we’ve launched exhibitions, residencies, festivals, and educational opportunities across Madrid, Florence, New York, and soon, Mexico City.
Celebrate with us next week for our space at 5pm CET/11am EST, and set your reminder to come celebrate.

In the meantime, here’s a look back at the milestones that shaped our first year:
