Immersive Africa

The programme presents fulldome immersions, extended-reality works, and spatial sound environments developed by creatives from across the continent. Works include both originals conceived specifically for the Dome's architecture and adaptations that find new form inside it. Each selection rests on a single principle: by Africans, for Africans, and through an African lens. Global best practice and global practitioners are incorporated and showcased.
