The project combines documentary film If Objects Could Speak and an AR installation. The project follows two filmmakers, who take three Kenyan artefacts stored in a German museum cellar, and produce 3D scans through an AR installation. The filmmakers embark on a journey to showcase the AR installation across communities in Kenya.

Showcased in partnership with Fak’ugesi Festival and Tshimologong Precinct
