Bringing Down A Hill: is a documentary short centered around the idea that "financial inclusion is a right, not a privilege, and that financial systems should work for everyone, everywhere". The film would reimagine with communities how they would want to make digital payment systems work for them and move exclusionary barriers, while critiquing India’s Unified Payment Interface (UPI). UPI amounts to 52% of India’s digital transactions and has helped many first-generation mobile users transact conveniently. But, it also excludes a large number of people due to linguistic, literacy, tech fluency, frauds and many other barriers.

The audio-visual art exhibition will build an imagery that shifts mindsets about wealth and how it is defined. Sikhula Sonke is an isiXhosa phrase which means ‘we grow together.’ The living archives will present stories of elders from Southern Africa whose knowledge can inform Afro-futurist financial systems that are not centered on Capitalism. The mixed media visual artwork will depict alternative systems based on archival research on the same topic so that the Afrocentric storytelling will serve as a continuation of archives, hence becoming living archives shaping an Afro-futurist imagining of financial systems based on village banking.

Digital Media/animation. They are mapping three future scenarios in which new forms of digital money, payment systems, and systemic change play a pivotal role. By making the world of money more understandable for people without a financial or economic background we have noticed discussions on the design of our monetary system become more accessible. With our maps and the metaphor of water, suddenly people who were never interested in the topic join the discussion about other payments structures, CBDC and restructuring our capital markets.
