In this conversation, Frank Barat & Eyal Weizman discusses the groundbreaking work of Forensic Architecture, particularly focusing on their recent report titled 'A Cartography of Genocide,' which analyzes the systematic violence and genocide occurring in Gaza. Weizman elaborates on the methodology used in their research, the patterns of violence observed, and the environmental destruction that accompanies these acts. He emphasizes the need for new terminology to describe the unique nature of this conflict, particularly the concept of 'ungrounding' which encapsulates both genocide and ecocide.

The project "Viva Palestina Libre-Subtitles against the Occupation" collaborates by preparing the Spanish subtitles of several of the interviews. These are usually added 2 to 3 days after the original interview is uploaded. Every time the subtitles of an interview are available it is announced on their instagram account (@viva_palestina_libre). On their blog you can find all the subtitled interviews: https://memoriapresente.net/subtitulo...
