Forensic Architecture presents The Nebelivka Hypothesis (2023) as part of the group exhibition pre-architectures at CIVA.

With the participation of a transdisciplinary field of architects, artists, sociologists and archeologists, the exhibition pre-architectures critically unveils how the study of prehistory might uncover not only causes of modernity’s present crisis, but also signs of architecture’s future past. Referring to the beginnings of human habitat and the ‘birth’ of design, the exhibition speculates about the cultural, social, economic and political foundations of spatial organisation.
