Forensic Architecture and Colombian Truth Commission Open the 2026 Venice School for Human Rights Defenders
The Venice School for Human Rights Defenders opened its 2026 edition with a powerful testimony from Forensic Architecture and the Colombian Truth Commission, whose joint investigation into land dispossession and paramilitary violence in Colombia’s Urabá region uses spatial analysis, 3D reconstruction, and archival research to preserve memory and pursue justice. The project, and the people behind it, set the tone for a week of intensive training that brings together human rights defenders, Sakharov Fellows, and leading experts from across the globe.
