A Counter Archive
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.
