Event summary

Highlights

  • Virtual and extended reality (XR) art showcases
  • Theme: "Between the Prompts"
  • Exploration of AI and regional identity
Co-curated by Dr. Najam Ul Assar and Sarah Rajper, the festival brings global immersive technologies directly to Pakistani audiences. The program specifically examines how regional identities are represented or misread by digital tools and archives. It builds upon the foundation established by the Lahore Digital Arts Festival to make high-tech art more accessible to the public.

The 2026 event is supported by international partners including the Embassy of France, the Embassy of Spain, the Institut français, and Alliance Française de Lahore, in collaboration with UNESCO. While the dates for the Islamabad edition are confirmed for mid-November, organizers have indicated that specific venue locations and the complete artist lineup will be disclosed closer to the event.
