FALOMO IMMERSIVE

Falomo Immersive, the second edition of AFROFUTOURISM’s exhibition series, is about presenting a new wave of experiencing African Digital Art. It consists of an installation and exhibition taking place under Falomo Bridge in the heart of Ikoyi, Lagos.

Falomo is a communal public place, a landmark, and a transitional space in Ikoyi, Lagos. The Falomo under-bridge location 'aimed to regenerate a once dilapidated and discarded central part of the city and reopen an interactive communal space whilst providing architectural social infrastructure' developed in collaboration with Polly Alakija, who created the murals on the pillars in homage to the ‘Bring Back our Girls’ mission back in 2014. It now serves as a space for art, leisure, transition and performance. Falomo Immersive is about further connecting us to art, technology and the public realm of the city.

This exhibition aims to bring a stronger focus to the lack of representation for African digital art, highlighting a selection of local and international artists. Falomo Immersive is about bringing these experiences and representations to our public spaces.
