Immersive Arts Journey: Revealing Unseen Layers

From August 5th to 31st

An immersive, family-friendly experience where art comes alive. Paintings speak. Characters reveal their faces through Augmented Reality and whisper their untold stories. Step iside the canvas with Virtual Reality and explore worlds hidden within each work. Slip on Mixed-Reality glasses to uncover secret layers invisible to the naked eye. Then leave your own mark — become an artist and co-create a digital masterpiece that becomes part of the evolving exhibition. This experience is designed to delight everyone, whatever your comfort with technology.

NOTICE : The Africa Centre main building is currently closed, however the exhibition is still going and is located at The 29 Old Union Yard Arches, in the back of the main building.

A social initiative blending arts, culture & technology

Where culture meets code — and creativity changes lives

We use immersive art and no-code AI to empower emerging artists, widen access to culture, and deliver programmes that build skills, wellbeing and connection across our communities.

What we do

Two pillars, one mission

Everything we do grows from two connected pillars — bringing culture to life, and putting technology into people’s hands.

Immersive Arts: Culture + Code

We bring traditional heritage and emerging artists to life through augmented reality, virtual reality and AI. Paintings that speak. Artworks you can step inside. Experiences designed for everyone — including ‘low-tech and no-tech’ art lovers — that turn viewing into wonder.

Ushirika Tech Lab: no-code AI for everyone

Our no-code AI-literacy programme puts practical digital skills into people’s hands — no technical background needed. Four steps: understand it, use it ethically, build with it, and give back. We demystify the ‘black box’ of AI and turn people from users into makers.

Who we work with

One mission, shaped for your world

The same artists, heritage and technology — configured for seven very different worlds. Pick yours from the list and book an event directly.
