An Image of Colonial Violence Pulled from the Air

Join us to celebrate the launch of An Image of Colonial Violence Pulled from the Air, a new digital publication documenting ten years of research and advocacy from the forensic investigation agency INTERPRT, based out of Trondheim, Norway.  INTERPRT in concerned with the unique evidentiary challenges of representing environmental destruction, and produces evidence for legal actions, including briefings and petitions to the International Criminal Court. They often work with (and on) legal terms that situate the crime of ecocide and the standing of the environment within international criminal law and political theory. 

Nabil Ahmed is on the faculty of architecture and design at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). With Olga Lucko, he leads the research agency INTERPRT, which utilizes architectural research, 3D reconstructions, remote sensing and publicly available datasets to investigate environmental destruction and human rights violations. INTERPRT undertakes long-term investigations on behalf of diverse groups, and pursues self-initiated research projects for which they produce advocacy videos, interactive maps and evidence files. INTERPRT collaborates with Climate Counsel, an initiative of former UN lawyers to address the climate emergency, and is a member of Investigative Commons, an initiative ofForensic Architecture. They support the global campaign to make ecocide a fifth international crime.
