Immersive arts
A conversation on disruptive technologies and art disciplines in this emerging field within the South African creative economy (recorded online in 3 different cities in South Africa over Zoom); this podcast acts as a window into the mindsets of practitioners who work within these disruptive creative practices. The discussion focuses on the messaging and themes of these practitioners' work, through their own personal experience and practice, whilst serving as examples of how those in the South African Creative and Cultural Industries can actively participate in this field and find new ways in forging their own path.
In 2020, BASA proudly launched an additional platform from which to engage, excite and incite our members, Board of Directors, artists, partners and friends. BASA’s podcast series was initially introduced as part of the BASA Awards programme but has extended to encapsulate all discussions and debates in which we participate. It’s also another way we can honour and recognise the diverse and imaginative relationships forged between business and creative partners collaborating on innovative projects, unique events and other outstanding initiatives.
Hosted and facilitated Samm Marshall and friends, we are excited to continue the conversation on this digital stage.
