The third installation of the State of The Art, (SOTA) exhibition has officially been launched in Nairobi. State of the Art is a joint initiative between the Goethe-Institut and BlackRhino VR set out to strengthen the creative economy in different sectors in Kenya by encouraging the use of immersive technologies in creation and delivery of content.

The third installation, dubbed Darubini (Telescope) will run for the entire month of November and will showcase works by six visual artists. The six artists were part of this year’s cohort under the wider theme of how technology can enable us take a reflective look at different aspects of our lives.

Darubini is the third successful instalment, this is after “NOMA” and “USONI” were launched in 2020 and 2021 respectively.

The Project Coordinator of Goethe’s JENGA CCI, Maria Bauer said, “From the first instalment “NOMA” (2020) to “USONI” (2021), we have finally arrived at ‘DARUBINI’ which offers us a lens into ourselves through immersive technology. Through this project, we have equipped young creatives with skills to enter their individual XR (eXtended Reality) journey and extend their creative freedom and expression without boundaries in the virtual world,”

The exhibition will be at the OUT Reality, XR Lab, and Exhibition space at The Mall, Westlands and is scheduled to run from November 5 to 27.

An estimated 800 people are expected to participate in the exhibition which is a culmination of a three months training program for creatives to upskill and build their capacity through the use of different tools in VR and AR.  

The training also included soft skills development which was conducted by Lantern Training.

Communications and Community manager at BlackRhino VR Shamina Rajab said that they are continuing to equip the youth in Kenya and Africa with the necessary VR and AR tools to be storytellers of the future.

“We have managed to interact and empower a group of young digital artists both economically and creatively,” she said. She also added that VR and AR technologies are more than gaming and entertainment.

“The future of Africa is being presented with unique opportunities that it can harness to shape its future and that of the world.”
