For the public program that frames Forensic Architecture’s exhibition, Violence, Fast and Slow, we will be discussing new forms of violence, emerging through changes in the political landscape that in turn revive fascist and xenophobic rhetorics via a new kind of authoritarianism, which is carried out today also by elected governments – and by extension their citizens.

In the second event of our public program, we discuss the case of Greece in particular and the fluctuation and normalisation of state violence in the last decade.

In a joint presentation-discussion, Anna Kouroupou, Maria Louka and Yiannis Baboulias will analyze the phenomena of violence that are observed in multiple levels and intensities for specific and at times more vulnerable groups of the Greek population. The conversation is co-ordinated by Iliana Fokianaki and will be in Greek.
