The exhibition came to us just after a productive conversation we had the opportunity to experience “Just Because You Don’t See” an incredible immersive ocean experience.
Huge thanks to the @seedexr team for bringing it right to our office desk! 🙌
The experience offered a powerful glimpse into the hidden realities beneath the ocean through immersive art and digital innovation, reminding us how technology can be used not only to tell stories, but also to inspire climate action and educate communities on the importance of protecting our oceans for future generations.
You can also experience the exhibition at Alliance Française, where it will be running until 10th June.

The future of storytelling is being shaped by a new generation of innovators and we’re excited to have explored new possibilities with seedeXR on how immersive technology, storytelling and creative IP can create fresh cultural experiences for Mashariki Expo 2026.
Driven by young professionals pushing the boundaries of culture and digital experiences, these conversations continue to inspire how we imagine East Africa’s Creative IP Marketplace.
As we continue blending creativity, technology, and emerging experiences, one thing is certain Mashariki Expo 2026 will not only bring creatives together but will also be an experience 🙌

"An Open Letter to My Mother" is a rare invitation to step into a "brave space". This is your opportunity to dive into the unspoken, the taboo, and the beautiful complexities of the bond with your mother.
Selected poets will undergo an Emotional Regulation Workshop led by Mentify Tz and SautiTek, ensuring you have the mental tools to navigate high-stakes emotional performance safely.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Ushirikiano huu kati ya SautiTek, CDEA, na Mentify Tz ni zaidi ya sanaa; ni safari ya kuelekea kwenye uponyaji wa pamoja. "Barua ya Wazi kwa Mama Yangu" ni mwaliko adhimu wa kuelezea yale yaliyojificha ndani ya mioyo yetu kuhusu uhusiano na mama zetu; kuanzia upendo hadi mambo magumu ambayo mara nyingi huchukuliwa kama "mwiko" kuyasema.
Washairi watakaochaguliwa watapata mafunzo maalum ya namna ya kudhibiti hisia (Emotional Regulation) kutoka kwa wataalamu wa Mentify Tz, ili kuhakikisha unawasilisha ujumbe wako kwa nguvu bila kuathiri afya yako ya akili.
CDEA in collaboration with SautiTek (@sautitek ) & MentifyTz (@mentifytz ) invites you to a night of poetry and heartfelt tributes themed “An Open Letter to My Mother”.
Join us on 29th May 2026 from 6:00 PM at Eco Sanaa Hub, Mbezi Beach for an evening of spoken word, storytelling and shared emotions.
For the words we never said, across the many layers of the mother–child relationship…
