Who Are We?

We look to our past to understand our present and future. We connect and feel a sense of identity through our shared heritage, bound by traditions, and building solidarity through communities. 

When the intangible faces threats of time and risks of disappearance, the comfort of physical space that brings us together, the faces and icons become ever more important to represent what we’ve been through. Monuments of memory, portals to the past, & endurance for the future.

Many dangers threaten societies, as well as their built and intangible cultural heritage. Wars and conflicts have caused innumerable destructions and priceless losses for many, personal, local, and communal. 

Efforts to preserve and conserve are taken by many cultural heritage professionals as well as local communities and custodians. Sharing the responsibility of the sites upkeep, and sharing it digitally for continuity, maintenance, studies, and data through time comparisons. 

Communities are essential to cultural preservation efforts. Highlighting community stories from these places fosters pride, unity, and a deeper appreciation of diverse cultural legacies.

High-tech tools like ground penetrating radar, LIDAR and drones can be used to preserve digitally, and enable data to be collected and monitored.
