Helene Kazan

Helene Kazan is an artist, curator, writer and CHASE funded PhD candidate at the Centre for Research Architecture. Helene’s research observes the architecture of the lived built environment in Lebanon as a material sensor of risk, produced through an evolving integrated limit condition of conflict and capitalism. Forcing its impact through slow, structural and spectacular modes of enacting violence, Kazan traces a historic inscription of these technologies of governance, read through an intersectional observation of international law, architecture and the human bodily experience of affect. She exhibited at the House of World Cultures (HKW), Berlin, as a part of Forensic Architecture’s exhibition, and contributed to FORENSIS (Sternberg, 2014).
