Quepo

Communications and film for social change

Quepo is a nonprofit communications cooperative and audiovisual production company based in Barcelona. It describes its work as communications and film production for social-change projects, with a focus on human rights, migration, social justice, cultural rights, and the climate emergency.

History

The cooperative began its audiovisual work in 2007 by filming its first movie in Nairobi. In 2011, it released in theaters the first film in Spain under a Creative Commons license, with the goal of defending free culture.
