Listen "When NFTS and Prison Art Collide"
Episode Synopsis
There’s a new project in the works that will allow people to own digital artworks made in prison.
An online gallery based in Brooklyn is turning those artworks into N-F-T’s, which allows anyone to buy and sell digitized drawings and paintings.
Some of the money would go to the artists in prison.
But victims' advocates want a say in deciding who profits off this.
Reporter Clara-Sophia Daly has been following this project for months and delves into some of the ethical issues this project raises.
