Hapi Tomorrow \\ Chepertom and ZULI

Hapi Tomorrow receives its world premiere at AND Festival 2026 as part of SERVER, the festival’s broadcast channel.
Created by visual artist Chepertom (Thomas Collet) and musician ZULI, the film combines glitch-based moving image and an original electronic score to journey through the shifting landscapes of the Nile Delta.

Hapi Tomorrow is an audio-visual work mapping a landscape where the birth and death of human civilisation ripple across the computer screen. Taking the Nile Delta in Egypt as its source, the work questions a movement from the fertile ‘cradle of civilisation’ towards a future shaped by climate change and rising water levels.

Visuals: Chepertom (Thomas Collet)
Music: ZULI

Hapi Tomorrow by Chepertom –Thomas Collet– (visuals) and ZULI (music). Produced by LONO Studio and Mutant Promise. Funded by the British Council – Creative Commissions Egypt COP27.
