Upstream International uses new and emerging technologies and art to highlight humanitarian causes and inspire action.
Work
Upstream International is a multimedia arts and Virtual Reality film company that tours the UK and Internationally. Renowned for their intelligent and thought provoking content, Upstream’s aim is to provide educational and learning support for humanitarian causes on a wider range of issues.
As a humanitarian organisation specialising in ways to use virtual reality and new technologies to aid in humanitarian relief, there are two main areas we focus on:
Criminal Justice - our technology is being used to promote justice and accountability
Education - we have developed a schools program focussed on radicalisation prevention methods
Projects
Our flagship exhibition is called NOBODY’S LISTENING a one of its kind virtual reality experience and immersive exhibition in collaboration with Yazda to commemorate the Yazidi genocide by ISIS. Attached to the exhibition is an advocacy campaign that aims to build public awareness, and to refocus international attention on the need to hold ISIS to account for their crimes against Yazidis, Christians and other religious minorities.
