126 Artist-Run Gallery & Studios presents Groundwork, an exhibition of work by Forensic Architecture, which follows the ongoing catastrophe in Palestine.
The free exhibition will begin on Friday, September 26, at 6pm, with the first event of the exhibition taking place on Saturday, September 27, at 1pm.
Using situated testimony interviews, open-source research, and cartographic analysis, these investigative methods document the immediate and long-term impact of cycles of forced displacement, systematic massacres, and destruction of land and civilian infrastructure.
Groundwork explores how people connect to a place through memory and lived experience across generations. It highlights acts of resistance against the ongoing removal of information and expresses solidarity between Palestine and Ireland through their shared histories of occupation and colonialism.
Forensic Architecture is a research agency based at Goldsmiths, University of London, operating across human rights, journalism, architecture, art and aesthetics, academia and the law. Their team is dedicated to developing and employing modern techniques for investigating state violence and human rights violations.
Advanced Researcher Elliot Bourne will deliver a presentation on their work with Forensic Architecture on Saturday 27, at 1pm. The talk will be followed by a question-and-answer session. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about a number of projects and to consider the capacity of this work within a gallery context.
The event will run from September 26 to October 26 2025. Visit 126gallery.com for more information.
