New York, NY, April 24, 2025 - The 2025 Tribeca Festival, presented by OKX, today announced its Immersive program, titled In Search of Us, a genre-defying exhibition spotlighting 11 groundbreaking projects-including six world premieres-by visionary artists working at the forefront of immersive storytelling.
In partnership with Onassis ONX and Agog: The Immersive Media Institute, this year's immersive lineup continues Tribeca's legacy of championing new forms of creative expression. The program will be hosted by Water Street Projects at WSA, transforming the space into a hub of innovation, reflection, and collective imagination.
Building on 14 years of Tribeca Immersive, the 2025 edition highlights works across filmmaking, futurism, activism, video games, XR and music, created by award winning artists including Jakob Kudsk Steensen, Kidus Hailesilassie, Cameron Kostopoulos and Tribeca alumni Idris Brewster (TF 21, 23), Meghna Singh (TF 21) and Simon Wood (TF 21).
Artists have always stood at the vanguard of transformation, using their voices to tell stories that shape our world. Tribeca has always championed bold experimentation and cutting-edge storytelling through technology, said Jane Rosenthal, Co-Founder of the Tribeca Festival and CEO of Tribeca Enterprises. In true Tribeca form, In Search of Us spotlights artists who are using these emerging technologies to break through, capture imaginations, and tell some of the timeliest stories of our day.
The selected projects use AI, XR, multi-media installations and site-specific technology to explore themes ranging from environmental change and personal connection to cultural heritage and reimagined futures, inviting audiences into immersive worlds where they can interact with powerful narratives in meaningful and unexpected ways.
This program offers a moment to pause - to reflect, to find beauty, and to reimagine the role of art in a world often driven and dominated by rapid innovation, said Afroditi Panagiotakou, Artistic Director of the Onassis Foundation. We are honored to collaborate with esteemed partners the Tribeca Festival and Agog, and to stand alongside visionary creative leaders, who, like us, are dedicated to nurturing artists and ensuring their work reaches diverse audiences through meaningful experiences in new media and digital art.
From playful installations to deeply emotional journeys, In Search of Us invites audiences to engage with stories that spark curiosity, challenge perceptions, and connect us to something larger than ourselves. Through these 11 dynamic installations, In Search of Us embraces the idea that there is no us vs. them -only the ongoing search for connection, understanding, and collective truth.
The Tribeca Festival is a reminder that, even in a fractured world, storytelling can help us bridge divides and see each other more clearly, said Chip Giller, Agog Co-Founder and Executive Director. These works challenge and move us, inviting us to imagine new futures together. They represent the kind of bold, creative stories we need now, inspiring empathy and sparking dialogue .
Tribeca Immersive: In Search of Us is not just a showcase; it's a shared space for discovery, empathy, and transformation. The Tribeca Festival 2025 immersive selections include:
