The festival does not only see its role as presenting to its audience key debates in the arts and tech spaces; it provides opportunities for audiences to expand their digital imaginaries by looking at our humanness, our vernacular and traditional cultures, how we navigate physical space, and thinking ways to re-imagine what is meant by ‘public’ and to remind ourselves of what can be left out when contemplating the virtual or digital. Being grounded in an African perspective is what allows for the understanding of the threads that need to be pulled together to create and develop from a point of inclusivity, criticality and contextualised future thinking for Africa.
