Charles Heller and Lorenzo Pezzani: Border Forensics

The OSUN Center for Human Rights and the Arts presents a webinar with Charles Heller and Lorenzo Pezzani, part of the Artists and Activists lecture series.

In this presentation, Heller and Pezzani will discuss the nature of contemporary borders and the ever-shifting modalities of border violence. Drawing on their work within the Forensic Oceanography project since 2011, which has focused on the Mediterranean frontier, they will discuss the strategies they have used to document traces of violent events and seek accountability for them. Reflecting on the effectiveness, but also the ambivalences, limits, and blindspots of this practice, they will point to the directions they are beginning to explore within their new project, Border Forensics.

Working together since 2011, Heller and Pezzani cofounded Forensic Oceanography, a collaborative project that critically investigates the militarized border regime and the politics of migration in the Mediterranean Sea. Their collaborative work has been used as evidence in courts of law, published across different media and academic outlets, as well as exhibited and screened internationally.

This is an online event.
