Vimbuza is a powerful Tumbuka healing tradition from Northern Malawi that brings together music, dance, plant medicine, and ancestral connection to support holistic healing. Presented in the Cube, this immersive installation uses large‑scale projection and sound to convey the sensory and communal nature of Vimbuza, while helping safeguard it as intangible cultural heritage through a UNESCO‑aligned digital archive and documentary film directed by Edward Nkhata, Alexander Helden Nyasulu, Phemphero Tembo, and the Vimbuza community of Hewe, Malawi.
