Figure Skating depicts the figure skating blades slicing through the ice to reveal the bleeding petals of Hong Kong’s iconic flower: Bauhinia blakeana. In 2019, the Chinese government unleashed a brutal response against Hong Kong's freedom and democracy movement, making dozens of violent arrests of journalists and activists, some as young as 16. Today the autonomy, freedom of speech, and independence of the judiciary systems have been abolished by the National Security Law. Activists, journalists, and artists are arrested and extradited in unprecedented numbers.
The first NFT project from Chinese dissident artist Badiucao, the Beijing 2022 Collection includes five works of art depicting the Chinese government’s oppression of the Tibetan people, the Uyghur genocide, the dismantling of democracy in Hong Kong, the regime’s omnipresent surveillance systems, and lack of transparency surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.
Each of the five works will be minted as 2022 editions, and collectors will have the opportunity to write their own message of opposition to China’s authoritarian regime onto the blockchain as part of the minting process, preserving it as a public decentralized record of protest.
