The Seizure of the Iuventa (Illegalised Migration and Deaths at Sea: Central Mediterranean, 2011-2018)

Forensic Architecture is a London-based research agency founded in 2011 that employs spatial analysis, 3D modeling, and investigative media to document evidence of state violence, conflict, and human rights violations. Working across video, architecture, installation, and interactive digital platforms, the collective reconstructs crime scenes and geopolitical events through rigorous material investigation and testimony. Their practice treats space itself as a witness and evidentiary site, producing counter-narratives to official accounts of violence in Gaza, the US-Mexico border, Greece, and beyond.
