‘As a society we’ve failed to hold the space for difficult conversations to take place...
We seem to have difficulty in dealing with how we continue to think about parts of our history that make
us feel uncomfortable. The Decolonising Memory trail is a remarkable AR experience that helps us view
colonisation from different perspectives, I guarantee it will stir a conversation.’
We owe it to the next generation to acknowledge and learn from our collective past. By raising our awareness of how destructive modern colonial behaviours shape us and the city we live in, we can begin to take the first steps to change the future.
