In recent years, FA has undertaken, together with and on behalf of the victims of human rights violations, a series of international investigations, spanning events from war crimes to instances of politically and racially motivated violence to the destruction of cultural heritage in conflict. Sarah Nankivell will introduce FA’s methodologies through the discussion of recent investigations, with a focus on those where FA’s techniques have been used to evidence heritage destruction caused by contemporary conflict and environmental damage. This talk will also explore how, as aesthetic interrogations of contemporary social and political processes, FA’s work has increasingly come to engage and intersect with a range of cultural and artistic spaces.

This talk is programmed as part of a CINE partner meeting to investigate technology, heritage, and environmental justice.
