Cultural mapping

This project captures and digitally preserves the Wilgabah cultural site at Wallabadah — the land we grew up on and where our ancestors once lived. Together with artists and elders, we’re recording, scanning, and creating interactive 360° and VR experiences to keep this culture alive and accessible.

The Art Shack @ Wilgabah has been running group tours to promote the location with local groups like Tamworth Land Care, and statewide groups likeRegional Futures: Horizons and NSW Health having attended.

A protoype was developed in 2024. We aim to upgrade our 3D capture capacity to expand the prototype into a full experience, allowing everyone to learn about the site and artefacts housed at Wilgabah, even people who may not be able to access the site in person.
