Medium 2022 Storytelling Through Augmented Reality (AR) Workshops and Grants

The “Storytelling through AR Workshops” will take place over the course of two days in three cities across East Africa.

In each city, ten to fifteen interdisciplinary artists will engage in discussions and exercises, familiarising themselves with some key AR tools in order to think creatively about how AR can serve artistic practice. All meals during the workshop will be provided by the organisers.
