The biggest celebration of Digital Art and Innovation in Zimbabwe showcasing the best in
Animation, Comic Art, Gaming, Virtual Reality, Visual Effects, Film, and Digital Media in
Zimbabwe is going virtual this year.

Comexposed is holding the 6th edition of its annual convention called Converge Online this
year. Times may be uncertain, but one thing remains true, there is power in coming
together.

Comexposed Converge brings together experts in digital arts and innovation as well as pop
culture enthusiasts. Converge 2020 will provide audiences with an opportunity to immerse
themselves in what is happening in the world of digital art and pop culture both locally and
across the continent from the comfort of their homes.

Comexposed Converge started out as a convention purposed to revolutionize the way
Africans and Zimbabweans, in particular, view themselves through comic books and comic
art. Now, converge has evolved to transform not only that but the way Zimbabweans and
African view themselves, but how they live their everyday lives, by showing them how to
harness the power of digital arts and technology.

Audiences will experience talks, workshops and presentations on animation, comic art,
monetizing digital art and more. These will be conducted by influential digital artists, arts
managers and experts such as Jide Martin of Comic Republic (Nigeria), Pious Nyenyewa of
Alula Animation (Zimbabwe), Blahtee Muchemwa of Blah Entertainment (South Africa) and more. The event will be hosted by Bill Masuku (creator of Razor Man and Captain South Africa).

Through Converge, we have created a space where the experts, enthusiasts and novices
alike can be completely immersed in the world of innovation for a day. Our hope is that the
knowledge and experiences they gain will empower them to go out into their spaces and
transform those spaces, not only for their benefit but for the benefit of our country and
continent.
