The first star cluster mapped by the original stargazers of Southern Africa constellates 444.2 light years away from Earth, ancient astronomical practice superposed on the geography and modern astrophysics of the Southern African Large Telescope. Immerse in the starlit & ghostly terrain of the Karoo, where volumetric fashion performance unfolds to a cinematic Afro-diasporic score. Costumed figurations and particle bodies morph in a triptych, entangling African cosmology with the technological sublime of inner and outer space. 444.2 is showing as part of the XR Showcase, located at Level 4, Halls 6 and 7 of the International Convention and Exhibition Centre The XR Showcase is open at the following times: Wednesday, 18 October 10am - 5pm Thursday, 19 October, 10am - 5pm Friday 20 October, 10am - 5pm Saturday 21 October 10am - 4pm THE SXSW SYDNEY SCREEN FESTIVAL IS ACCESSIBLE TO BADGE HOLDERS AND THOSE WITH A SCREEN FESTIVAL WRISTBAND.
