What We Ought to Know: How Digital Museums Can Facilitate Reflection and Discourse of The Nigerian Civil War

Aduro, Jennifer; Davis, Pryce

Abstract

The Nigerian Civil War is a key that is often unspoken of in public or taught in schools, despite its aftermath still being felt decades later in Nigerian society. In this paper, we make a case for how a digital museum offers room to reflect, discuss and remember this important part of the country’s history. We use design-based research to develop a digital museum to improve access to this history through a diversity of voices.
