FA/CRA Forum: Kodwo Eshun responds to Forensic Architecture
2 December 2020
For much of 2020, Forensic
Architecture has worked on the link between the scale of a split second and
that of the long duré: the scalar link between the killing of Mark Duggan and
the systemic police brutality at BLM protests; between clouds of teargas
filling the roundabouts and streets in the US, Chile, France or Hong Kong; to
what Achille Mbembe described in his work on the “Universal Right to Breath”
as the closing down of the skies. To help think through these
projects critically, FA invited the filmmaker,
theorist and artist Kodwo Eshun to reflect and respond. Kodwo is a Lecturer in Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths and co-founded of The Otolith Group.
