Collaboration studio for rural cultural heritage projects
Bold Villages is grateful to do some of its work as uninvited guests on the shared, unceded territory of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) Nation and Lil̓wat7úl (Lil’wat) Nation.

We're new here, and we've done this before...

Bold Villages builds digital cultural heritage experiences for exurban and rural communities.
We believe that collaboration beats competition. We gather worldclass professionals in XR (virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality) and shared histories. We work with artists, technologists, ethnographic researchers, knowledge keepers, and educators. Together we create culturally-respectful and engaging experiences that connect the past, present, and future. We specialize in working with communities that do not have significant digital expertise in-house. We build sustainable projects that include the necessary financing, IT infrastructure, and digital upskilling for the communities where we work.
Our projects drive tourism, facilitate education, and create new opportunities for community engagement.
