The WCK Foundation founded by chef José Andrés travels to different parts of the planet hit by tragedy, to give a meal to those in need.
Masky! was born 3 years ago with the COVID-19 pandemic. A character that the founder artist of Kukuxumusu, Mikel Urmeneta, made on behalf of José Andrés to brighten those moments of confusion and confinement.
Masky! He is presented in this collection of NFTs as a narrator of dozens of humanitarian operations that both José Andrés and WCK have carried out around the world.
Mikel Urmeneta, frames as stamps these 42 digital collectibles as a metaphor for the global coverage given by the WCK foundation. The creations show in a friendly and positive way, situations that are really extremely harsh.
85% of the money raised from this auction will be allocated as direct funds to WCK, which probably today, is one of the most effective organizations on the planet facing up a crisis. The remaining 15% will be used to cover expenses form IT, logistics, creativity etc…arising from Urmeneta’s initiative, as well as to enable him to continue generating NFTs.
José Andrés and Mikel Urmeneta have known each other for 20 years and have done many projects together, but this one in particular, draws the profile of both of them. Profiles that enable them to make from cooking, from food, from art or drawings, a help tool. Urmeneta from his freedom and WCK and José Andrés from its efficient solidarity structure, converge to raise funds and continue to give a meal there, where it’s needed.
