Galerie Jaroslava Fragnera is pleased to invite you to the opening of the exhibition project Testimonies of Space. The Role of Architecture in the Protection of Human Rights, which will focus on projects of forensic architecture and critical mapping. Within this thematic block, various foreign teams and their projects will be introduced, utilizing architectural and spatial analytical tools in journalistic, humanitarian, or legal practice, to investigate and document violence, human rights violations, or crimes against the environment.
The opening will take place on Tuesday, October 8, 2024, starting at 6:00 PM. At 7:00 PM, there will be a lecture on the project by the collectives Forensic Architecture (GB) and Forensis (DE) mapping the German colonial genocide in Namibia. We cordially invite you to the opening and the lecture.
The entire exhibition framework will last from October 9, 2024, to February 2, 2025, and, thanks to an additive approach, will allow for the gradual presentation of all projects. Two additional teams – the Alison Killing team and Beirut Urban Lab – will also begin their project presentations with lectures in the gallery space. On October 31 at 7:00 PM, British architect and investigative journalist Allison Killing will present her mapping of Chinese detention camps in the Xinjiang province, which was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 2021. The final team we will exhibit will be Beirut Urban Lab, which explores the Gaza Strip. The presentation and lecture on their project will take place on November 27 at 7:00 PM. The local dimension of the six-month block will be enhanced by lectures from the Brno team FaVU VUT Institute of Forensic Interdisciplinary Research, socially emancipatory design, and architecture, including Sara Polak and others.
