Preserving oral histories from guides and elders; weaving their voices into wayfinding, audio tours, and programming.
25th Jan 2025
DRDC's "Echoes of the Dunes" initiative represents a groundbreaking approach to cultural preservation in the digital age. By capturing and preserving the oral histories of desert guides, elders, and local communities, we're creating an invaluable archive of traditional knowledge, stories, and wisdom that might otherwise be lost to time. This comprehensive program involves extensive interviews, audio recordings, and cultural documentation that will be integrated into our guest experiences through innovative wayfinding systems, immersive audio tours, and interactive programming. The initiative not only preserves cultural heritage but also provides guests with authentic, deeply personal connections to the desert's rich history and the people who have called it home for generations.
