Cultural heritage preservation meets blockchain innovation in an upcoming talk featuring Anna Filippova, founder of the Ukrainian Fund of Digitized Art (UFDA), the country's largest digital art repository. The event, titled "Art and the Product Approach: The Story Behind the Launch of the Ukrainian Fund of Digitized Art," will take place on April 8 at 18:30.
UFDA (u-f-d-a.org) has become a critical resource for Ukrainian cultural preservation, housing over 3,200 digitized artworks spanning four centuries of the nation's artistic heritage. The fund creates blockchain-secured digital counterparts of physical artworks, ensuring their preservation regardless of what happens to the originals. Additionally, UFDA organizes charity auctions supporting the Ukrainian Armed Forces and heritage preservation initiatives.
From Museum Curator to Digital Innovator
Anna Filippova will bring extensive experience to the discussion, having previously worked at the National Art Museum of Ukraine (NAMU) and Mystetskyi Arsenal and participated in the prestigious Documenta Fifteen exhibition. She currently leads Digital Original, a company specializing in blockchain-certified digital twins of physical artworks for galleries.
During the talk, Anna will provide rare insights into the development process behind UFDA, addressing critical questions about cultural startups:
- Validating ideas and taking first steps in the cultural-tech space
- Building and motivating specialized teams
- Structuring management processes for cultural digital products
- Overcoming major challenges during launch
The session promises valuable takeaways for museum professionals, heritage workers, and digital product developers navigating the intersection of culture and technology.
