Spatial Narratives of Old Mosul
The ISIS Prisons Museum (IPM) is a virtual museum that uses state-of-the-art digital technology to exhibit forensic investigations into crimes committed by ISIS. This exhibition was their inaugural exhibition, held at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris, combining interactive digital storytelling, virtual reality, and, video and physical print material to promote public awareness of ISIS crimes and to support those who were imprisoned by the group in Syria and Iraq.
We partnered with IPM to create their first physical exhibition, 'Three Walls: Spatial Narratives of Old Mosul,' which was showcased at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris. This exhibition offered a multi-faceted exploration of Mosul, allowing visitors to embark on a virtual tour of the historic city, delve into key locations using interactive screens, and gain insights into the city's evolution during the ISIS era through compelling personal testimonies.
The team behind the ISIS Prisons Museum is a group of journalists, documentary filmmakers, artists, archivists, and experts that started to cover events in Syria in 2010. United by a dedication to document factually what happened, they combine digital storytelling and forensic architecture using interactive presentations to raise awareness about the crimes of ISIS and help reveal the fate of those who disappeared in its prisons.
IPM was propelled by a journalist searching for colleagues and his photographer brother who were imprisoned by ISIS. Over time more than 100 people joined the efforts of documenting the injustices and crimes. Since many had interactions with ISIS or were in their prisons or were persecuted by the Syrian regime, for safety reasons their names are not published here. Please explore their website for more information: ISIS Prisons Museum.
