Chipo Mapondera

Chipo Mapondera is a creative technologist of Zimbabwean Rozvi ancestry, exploring her lineage through an intersection of African heritage and immersive technology. Her work channels the ancestral continuum through embodied storytelling, sonic environments and ancestral knowledge, creating digitally facilitated experiences, and designing speculative futures born out of deep traditions.

Rooted in ritual, ceremony, and indigenous technologies, Mapondera’s work synthesises tradition and a multilayered, diasporic artistic expression, offering contemporary portals into ancestral memory and knowing.
