# Punks Post Mirror Edition #01 - An Expanding World By [Punks Post](https://paragraph.com/@0xpunkspost) · 2023-03-07 --- GM Punks, well, what can we say? It’s been a quick minute. In the blink of an eye, we’ve gone from what was the **barrage of late 2022** and into the **wonder of 2023**, with all the weird and wild opportunities that have exploded from this relentless year so far. Two months in and it half feels like the collapses, liquidations and rolling panic of 2022 were some sort of fever dream that passed as quick as they came. Well, we’re still here, well on our way to taking a solid chunk out of 2023, and in many regards having **a lot of fun with it too.** As Punks, we’ve continued to do what we do in various ways and by the eclectic means that we have across our ever-expanding community. We’ve seen a **huge amount of outstanding work and building** by a **beautiful array of people** and we’re here, as the Punks Post, to bring together what we can for your viewing pleasure. From the incredible story arc we saw play out after long time community champion [@CryptoNovo](https://twitter.com/CryptoNovo311) lost his Punks through the most unfortunate series of events, through to the announcement that Punks are coming to the home of contemporary and modern art in Europe, the **Centre Pompidou in Paris**. It’s been a wild ride so far and we’re just getting started. Here on the Mirror, we’re looking to take you through an expanded version of the Discord link set, where we look at some of the biggest headlines in the **Punk Community** from the previous month and hope to add in a few quotes, a little commentary and maybe even an opinion or two.

We had a quick moment to catch up with the man himself [@CryptoGarga](https://twitter.com/CryptoGarga) at the Punks Brunch @nft\_paris (more on that below!) and here’s what he had to say: > _“It was a blast to see a lot of familiar faces at the Punk DAO event in Paris and to meet a ton of European punks for the first time. Kudos to_ [_@gwendall_](https://twitter.com/gwendall) _and_ [_@perhapsrabbits_](https://twitter.com/perhapsrabbits) _for organizing such a well-done meetup. I know a lot of people traveled from near and far to attend and it didn’t disappoint. We’re super proud about the progress that’s been made on the Punks Legacy Project. Being able to announce the donation of Punk 110 to the Centre Pompidou just prior to NFT Paris was incredibly special, even if we won’t see it officially on display there until later this spring. We can hardly think of a better home for 110 than France’s National Museum of Modern Art and loved collaborating with the museum on this (they picked 110 out of our collection!).”_ **The Pompidou themselves** said they are acquiring a complete set of works that deals with the relationship between blockchain and artistic creation, including its first NFTs that includes Punk #110. They will feature work across 18 projects by 13 French and international artists in the collection.

After the first - from what we know - Punks Brunch back at NFT NYC in the June of 21, there’s always been talk of more, but where and when? Well, as Punks gathered from all corners of the Globe for [@NFT\_Paris](https://twitter.com/nft_paris), it seemed like a natural fit to get one going and that’s exactly what happened. A big thank you must go out to Punks [@gwendall](https://twitter.com/gwendall), [@perhapsrabbits](https://twitter.com/perhapsrabbits) & [@arkaydeus](https://twitter.com/arkaydeus) for helping make it happen, as well as Yuga for helping **co-sponsor the event.** It was a fantastic mix of minds, Punks all bringing various talents and personalities into a single venue to talk about ideas, building, and the future.

Here, with the story of [@CryptoNovo](https://twitter.com/CryptoNovo311), we have an incredible arc, and a beautiful story to tell. * **Intro:** CryptoNovo spends years being a beloved member of the Punk community. * **Conflict:** CryptoNovo falls victim to social engineering and has Punks stolen. * **Resolution:** The community comes together to help buy them their Punks back! To be honest, we could write a **complete manuscript** on this one, but it seemed easiest to just give the incredible highlights of an amazing journey and wonderful example of what this community is capable of.
