Our history, for people who weren't there.
I wanted younger generations to be able to see our history unfold, rather than only reading about it in textbooks.
How it's told
Ibuka is an interactive narrative you navigate with sound, moving through each scene at your own pace.
It doesn't begin in 1994. It begins with a colonial border drawn across a map, and with these words: Before the cards. Before the labels. There were neighbors.
From there, it journeys through five chapters from the colonial era to the present day.
How it ends
The final chapter is called The Weavers.
It closes with survivors sitting alongside the wives of perpetrators, weaving traditional agaseke baskets together. The woven pattern is named "women holding hands".
The response
I created it for my peers.
Over 21,000 people visited during its launch week.
Nothing in it is gamified, and nothing is rushed.
