XR-History Award 2024
Historians and their books have long dominated most visible spheres of historytelling and commemoration. Digital tools are some of the instruments that allow us to challenge narratives, bring previously unheard voices to the forefront of historical remembrance and expand opportunities of collective memories.
Have you been building a creative XR project that skilfully combines elements of narration, art and history to achieve a critical reflection on historic discourses and memory?
