Amid an ongoing genocide in Gaza that has unfolded for over 14 months, Forensic Architecture’s founder and director, Eyal Weizman, joins Palestinian artist Basma Al-Sharif for a critical conversation. Together, they will explore the mechanics of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, settler colonialism, and military occupation through interdisciplinary lenses.
How can the Gaza Strip’s creation as an "open-air prison" and its subsequent destruction by Israel be interpreted in architectural and artistic terms? Where do the works of Forensic Architecture, with their meticulous objectification of facts, intersect with the evocative abstraction in art? Does framing Gaza as an exceptional and unjust case risk obscuring the lived realities of its multifaceted population? And how can the visualization of violence, through two distinct practices, contribute to imagining liberation and hope beyond the images of annihilation?
The artist from Gaza, Basma Al-Sharif, and Eyal Weizman, who has built a compelling evidentiary archive of genocide with his groundbreaking team, will reflect on these pressing questions.
The event will take place at the Pera Museum Auditorium as part of the Which Human Rights? Film Festival. Free admissions. The event will be held in English with simultaneous Turkish interpretation. Limited space, drop-in, no reservations.
