Francesca Albanese and Eyal Weizman

Landscape as Power: A Unique View of Conflict in the Middle East

 – Discovery Stage

An extraordinary examination of the conflict in Israel and Gaza, through the lens of architecture, ecology and infrastructure. Francesca Albanese, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, and Israeli architect Eyal Weizman discuss the politics of the physical environment – from Gaza’s underground tunnels to the militarisation of its surface. And they ask what impact this has on the potential for justice.

Albanese is an international lawyer, specialising in human rights and the Middle East. Weizman is founder and director of Forensic Architecture, professor of Spatial and Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths, University of London, and author of Ungrounding: The Architecture of Genocide.
