Welcome to Garma | SBS VR | Available Online

Indigenous peoples have been amazingly adaptive and creative with new media technologies, applying them to their own life ways and maintaining cultural boundaries rather than simply assimilating into the dominant social order. Communities that survived the cataclysmic forces of colonization are now telling their stories and constructing new forms of cultural power in the digital age.
Virtual Reality is increasing changing the way people want to consume media and tell a story. For Indigenous people its not just the entertainment value that VR and AR offer, the new emerging technologies offer an opportunity to share stories that are thousands of years old and pass on traditional knowledge onto the next generation.
Take this rare opportunity to experience the welcoming ceremony at the annual Garma festival in the Northern Territory of Australia.
