Current Exhibition
Nobody's Listening
Jan 9 to Feb 23, 2023
A groundbreaking Virtual Reality experience and immersive exhibition that commemorates the Yazidi genocide initiated by ISIS in the summer of 2014 in northern Iraq. Using cutting-edge Virtual Reality technology, photography and art, the exhibition explores the consequences of the genocidal campaign by ISIS – its devastating effect on persecuted communities and their cultural heritage. The exhibit pays tribute to the courage, determination and agency of the survivors, and gives them a space where they can be heard by people around the world. Together they are one voice, calling for international recognition, and justice.
