Digital Exhibitions & Animations: Bringing Luba Culture to Life
Immerse yourself in the dynamic world of Luba traditions through VR and AR digital exhibitions. These exhibitions will showcase 3D models and animations of cultural heritage, sacred spaces, and historical events—brought to life by the collective contributions of our community. By leveraging cutting-edge technology, we will reimagine and preserve female Luba heritages in a fully interactive experience, where past and present merge to tell the stories of the Luba people, with a focus on the women, their culture, traditions, and impacts on the polity, the worldviews, and the legacies of the Luba people that have been scattered and displaced as a results of colonial contacts. With your input, we will create a digital space where visitors and community members can explore Luba cultural traditions in an immersive environment.

Interactive Maps: Reconstructing Luba Culture’s Villages and Genealogies
Discover the heart of Luba culture through our Interactive Maps. This platform, built on contributions from the community, aims to reconstruct the geographic and familial landscapes of Luba cultures by mapping out villages and family genealogies. Using oral histories, testimonies, and collective memories, we are working to deconstruct the traditional geographies of Luba cultures and traditions, placing them back in the hands of the communities they represent. These maps will serve as a collaborative tool for understanding and preserving the familial connections, village histories, and cultural ties that have shaped our identity over time.”
