ABOUT THE ARTIST
Chipo Mapondera is a creative technologist of Zimbabwean Rozvi ancestry, exploring her lineage through an intersection of African heritage and immersive technology. Her work channels the ancestral continuum through embodied storytelling, sonic environments, and ancestral knowledge.
Digitally facilitated experiences and speculative futures, born of deep traditions, emerge from this practice rooted in ritual, ceremony, and indigenous technologies. Her work synthesizes tradition and a multilayered, diasporic artistic expression, offering contemporary portals into ancestral memory and knowing.
