ABSTRACT
This experience report describes our work to design and develop an Extended Reality (XR) application and supporting materials which allow people to experience, in situ, the spoken narratives of a diverse group of individuals affected by the ongoing efforts to remove the large and storied public monument to Christopher Columbus at Heritage Park in Syracuse, New York. Building on recent studies in posthumanist and intercultural rhetorics, this report describes how XR technologies and intercultural research methods can help to bring about the decolonization of the design of communication.
