Listen to an artist talk by Forensic Architecture on their exhibition A Counter-Archive of the Ovaherero and Nama Genocide, featured in Pina issue #2.

The exhibition maps the enduring impact of colonial violence in three parts: the ideological roots of racialised imperialism, the design of the concentration camp, and the ongoing environmental degradation and dispossession faced by Indigenous communities today. Here, they discuss their methodologies for working with archival materials and highlight the central role of survivors’ oral testimonies in reconstructing histories deliberately erased by Western powers throughout the 20th century.

This episode of Fugitive Materials features an interview with Ben Morea, the founder of the 1960s Lower East Side anarchist-artist groups Black Mask and Up Against the Wall Motherfuckers, known for their provocative demonstrations and radical broadsides. Morea reflects on his unconventional methods—ranging from direct occupations and mock executions to garbage offensives—revealing how these disruptive actions had the power to eventually bring MoMA to a standstill.
