The Tribeca Festival, presented by OKX, kicked off last week June 5th which brought together a diverse group of audiences to celebrate storytelling in all its forms, including film, TV, music, audio storytelling, games, and immersive. With strong roots in independent film, Tribeca is synonymous with creative expression and entertainment. Tribeca champions emerging and established voices, discovers award-winning talent, curates innovative experiences, and introduces new ideas through exclusive premieres, exhibitions, conversations, and live performances.
To start, the festival screened the world premiere of Diane von Furstenberg: Woman in Charge, an intimate look at the life of the fashion designer and cultural luminary. The film captured Diane von Furstenberg’s impact as a creative icon, who challenged the status quo with the bold inquiry, "Why shouldn't a woman do what a man can do?" Directed by Tribeca alumni Trish Dalton and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, Woman in Charge opens the lineup of features.

Festival Highlights ( to stimulate your interest of what you can expect moving forward )
IMMERSIVE experiences at Mercer Labs
As Mercer Labs first guest-curated exhibition, Tribeca Festival's program offers a collective experience of visual and sonic artworks, specifically curated for the unique architecture and state of the art technology of the space. From June 6-17, eight exclusive large-scale immersive artworks from six artists – Memo Akten, Wen-Yee Hsieh, ScanLAB Projects, Robertina Šebjanič, Liam Young, and Sutu – will rotate in Mercer Labs' bespoke exhibition spaces in three presentations: Body In The World, Redesigning Tomorrow, and Far From Nature. Each piece represents a distinct creative style, originating from artists whose expertise spans architecture, film, animation, sculpture, theater, dance, music, and audio.
“Never before has an immersive program at a festival undertaken such an endeavor to create multiple exclusive works at this scale and format,” said Tribeca Immersive Curator Ana Brzezińska. “This year, our program is a response to the reality that constantly prompts us to reflect on our relationship with society, technology, the natural environment, and individual life experiences.”
“The function of art is to see the world with new eyes; to motivate our community to consistently challenge and reinvent the world around us,” said Mercer Labs Co-Founder and Artist, Roy Nachum. “Mercer Labs gives life back to the Museum experience, continuing the story and creating a new cycle.”
