BARRA - OFF-SITE

Virtual Reality Pavilion
All audiences

Founded in 2021 between Paris and Gaza, the HAWAF collective aims to (re)build a besieged community through an imaginary museum - the Sahab Museum (English translation The Cloud Museum). In this interactive virtual reality headset experience, users find themselves in a partially destroyed lunar terrain, facing a tigress who will guide them throughout the experience. Following the tigress, the user is invited to collect and contemplate artworks lost and/or damaged, then return them to the Sahab Museum, where they belong.
