Collisons, the VR experience tells the story of Aboriginal elder Nyarri Nyarri Morgan. A Martu man from the remote Pilbara desert in Western Australia who had lived all his early life on country with no knowledge or contact with Western culture.
Nyarri Morgan's first contact with Western culture came in the 1950s via a dramatic and horrific collision between his traditional world and the cutting edge of Western science and technology: the Maralinga nuclear tests in the South Australian desert.
Thats when nuclear bombs were tested in South Australias desert without much consideration for their effect on indigenous people.
Collisions is the first Indigenous Virtual Reality experience currently showing at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) until the 15 of January 2017.
In the wake of the screening of his story at the ACMI Nyarri Morgan caught up with Kirstyn Lindsay.
In this conversation Nyarri Morgan speaks about the horrific consequences of the nuclear tests on his people and country.
He also calls for a ban of the nuclear tests and bombs.
The conversation was recorded in Ngaanyatjarra and English.
It was translated by Nyarri Nyarri Morgan's grandson: Curtis Taylor
