Led by UK-based architect Eyal Weizman, Forensic Architecture famously puts government and corporate violence under surveillance, and its laser-sharp investigations are increasingly feared by the powerful who want to keep their abuses in the shadows.

The agency investigates contemporary conflicts and human rights violations all over the world using new types of evidence (from mobile phones, buildings and citizens), to generate architectural analysis, mapping and digital modelling that prove events didn’t take place in the way the ‘official’ narrative describes.

From torture in Myanmar, to the Beirut Port Explosion and killings in Turkey, Paris and Palestine, Weizman’s team recreate incidents, spaces and events with film, images and models that have both been submitted as evidence in international courts and exhibited as art in prestigious shows like the Venice Biennale. 

Join Eyal Weizman and UNSW humanities scholar Michael Richardson for a discussion on the power of these innovative approaches to achieve justice.
