Cahaya XR: First Edition is described as an exhibition that fuses local stories with immersive technology, to demonstrate new ways of reimagining Penang’s traditional stories and heritage, while also showcasing how the metaverse can be used to hold space for inclusive community storytelling. Featuring works by Penang artists White Bones, Ysabel Loh and Kabilan Murali Dharan, the exhibition is both a physical and virtual one, and is part of the Georgetown Arts Festival.
