Tuvalu’s ambition to upload themselves to the metaverse follows the preservation of its memories and sovereignty. Our project explores this complex terrain by considering how to preserve Tuvalu’s heritage beyond what’s tangible, which is its intangible cultural heritage. The Tuvaluans have this fear that when the nation is submerged, digitalized, or in a diaspora, they might lose their valuable cultural heritage and what has shaped their identities and forms of belonging. The design is an architecture for re-ritualizing the practice of data recording, remembrance, mourning and enacting data sovereignty. In this reimagined framework, the project aims to clarify the specific areas and contents that could be recorded, while transparently highlighting what may be left unrecorded, no matter intended or unconsciously. Yet, far from aiming for complete surveillance, recording will always remain incomplete as the architecture facilitates blockages and glitches while the final decision of what to preserve remains with the community, not the technology. The Town Hall is an architecture for gathering, for mourning what’s lost, while celebrating the resilience of Tuvaluan culture and fostering a sense of pride and responsibility for its continued existence.
