Curated at the intersection of prestige heritage tourism and contemporary African art, NDIRI PANO: The African Sacred Sound Healing Meditation is a sound-art exhibition designed for travelers seeking elevated African authenticity and singular cultural immersion.
Expanding beyond traditional art-world conventions, this exhibition is crafted for a single participant and presents a land-based, site-specific, intangible African artwork — realised within the living ecological sanctuary of an ancient natural monument.

The Artist
Identified as gifted and talented by age three, Amanda Badze, an awakened creative force and visionary, was born in Zimbabwe and raised in The Woodlands, Texas. She is a Master Vocalist, Designer, and Sound Artist whose early years were shaped by rigorous vocal and fine arts training, countless recitals, and steadfast community support.
Destiny-driven, she pursued Fine Arts, specializing in Indigenous African A Cappella Composition at Howard University (Washington, D.C.) and Empire State University (Brooklyn, NY), followed by a period of sovereign study in Los Angeles, California. This journey ignited a relentless pursuit of originality, culminating in her 2014 African homecoming and the founding of KGOGO Arts & Gallery—A pioneering, multidimensional fine art firm devoted to preserving, elevating, and healing African aesthetics with dignity and refinement.
Today, Amanda’s avant-garde exhibition—NDIRI PANO: The African Sacred Sound Healing Meditation—offers a bespoke cultural immersion that redefines engagement with fine art while honoring her ancestral lineage and unique ontological essence.
