about
SEEMAWORLD is a conceptual theme park of combined spectacle, community and narrative. The interweaving strands of SEEMAWORLD each transcend specialisms in: film, moving image, 3D animation, sound design, sculpture and performance. This fantastical multiverse is led by multi-disciplinary world-building artist and director, Seema Mattu, born and based in Birmingham, UK.
Alongside Seema’s own multi-modal practice, SEEMAWORLD is an ongoing, participatory world-building platform, so also holds space for: research, criticality, collaboration, making and showcasing. This has been made especially possible by securing a physical location at The Old Print Works, Birmingham, since April 2025.
SEEMAWORLD operates under SEEMAWORLD LTD as a Limited Company (no. 11020276).
