Nobody’s Listening
Client: Upstream
The centrepiece of 'Nobody’s Listening: The Forgotten Voices of Sinjar' is an immersive exhibition and ground-breaking virtual reality experience that commemorates the Yazidi genocide committed by ISIS in the summer of 2014 in northern Iraq.
The immersive environment provides maximum impact helping to generate greater international awareness regarding the events of the 2014 genocidal campaign and its profoundly devastating consequences. This is a forward-facing exhibition that focuses on what needs to happen next. It provides a platform for survivors and displaced people to tell their stories, display their expressions of painting, sculpture, and poetry – and make their voices heard about what actions are still needed.
