BLACK PLANETARIUM: UNCHARTED ANTHOLOGIES

Project Description

Uncharted Anthologies, a virtual reality experience and constellation within the broader Black Planetarium project, premiered as part of ONASSIS ONX’s curation at Tribeca 2025. Now on view at The Music Center, Black Planetarium offers a space for the collective rehearsal of other worlds shaped by Pan-African knowledge-making. Through breath, movement, atmospheric archive, and shared listening practices, the work traces the persistence of collective memory and imagination.

Rooted in over 5,000 years of Pan-African knowledge systems, this inaugural exhibition at The Music Center’s Digital Art Pavilion extends Kidus Hailesilassie’s ongoing research project Ancestral Algorithm, a cartography of 6,500 pictographs, ideographs, syllabaries, alphabets, and iconographs from twenty African languages.

RAWx was part in assisting Kidus Hailesilassie by creating the CGI imagery and compositing.
