The team behind their flagship project *Empower Housing* has teamed up with @sndbox to raise awareness and Steem-power funds for new housing prototype strategy and community planning in South Africa. U-TT will use all cryptocurrency raised to fund ongoing development of housing in Khayelitsha, South Africa. Their approach to architecture and community development is inspiring, make sure to give them a warm hello and support their *empowering* work!

**@kr-marketing** is a Korean community project led by @leesongyi and @leesol in collaboration with the @keepit team. Their team reinvents blockchain news and crypto-information into beautiful and easy to understand illustrations. Afterwards, these graphics are shared throughout social media and off-line as prints. Across all languages, this is a fantastic precedent for Steem-powered collaboration among blockchain developers, experts, traders and artists!

This week, they’ve published new flashcards of their Blockchain Encyclopedia, focusing a great deal on the nature and funciton of nation-based exchanges. **Read the [latest terms here](https://steemit.com/kr/@kr-marketing/11-by-keepit).**

@mrblinddraw's #whisper Gallery is Steemit’s own artistic form of the game "Telephone" where artists call upon other creatives on the platform to interpret work and continue a thread of innovation. It's an amazing showcase of cross-disciplinary collaboration. Make sure to explore the range of creatives involved in this exciting project.

> *We want to collectively build an art community. This is a great way to connect us, support each other through up-votes, comments, and follows. Steemit can be a slow-growing platform for creatives starting out, and the future goal is to roll this into a community event where people can be perpetually submitting to the chain.* ([Link](https://steemit.com/art/@mrblinddraw/whisper-gallery-i-week-x-art-by-coloringiship-rachelsvparry-is-next))
