Forensic Architecture is a multidisciplinary research group based at Goldsmiths, University of London that uses architectural techniques and technologies to investigate cases of state violence and violations of human rights around the world.  Their investigations have provided decisive evidence in a number of legal cases, including in national and international courts in Germany, The Hague, Greece, Israel, Guatemala, as well as in citizen tribunals and human rights processes, leading to military, parliamentary, and UN inquiries. Alongside their presentation in such political and judicial forums, Forensic Architecture's investigations have also been shown in cultural and artistic venues as examples of the use of creative practice in an image- and data-laden environment. Sarah (Assistant Director / Operations) is responsible for overseeing all operational aspects of FA – including financial, HR, legal, and administrative matters – and strategic financial and operational planning. She is a graduate of the University of Toronto (BSc) and the University of Cambridge (MPhil), where her research focused on the destruction of heritage sites in conflict. Sarah joined the team in 2017, having previously worked at B+H Architects, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Aga Khan Museum. FA's investigation into the destruction of cultural heritage sites in Gaza (2018-2022), with human rights group Al-Haq, led them to call on The Prosecutor of the ICC to consider this destruction as amounting to war crimes, and to evaluate their potential contribution to apartheid as a crime against humanity under the Rome Statute.  Journalist Roshdi Sarraj was killed as he tried to shield his wife, Shorouq, and one-year-old daughter, Dania, from shrapnel in their family home. He co-founded ⁠Ain Media⁠ with Yasser Murtaja. Murtaja was killed by an Israeli sniper while covering the 2018 Great March of Return. A 2019 UN inquiry found reasonable grounds to suggest there was intentional targeting of journalists, including Murtaja, by the Israeli army during the march. Ain Media were vital for the Living Archaeology in Gaza project.

Sandy Dann speaks with YMAC Deputy Co - Chairperson Doris Eaton On Cultural Heritage Protection Co - Design Workshop In response to the widespread opposition from Aboriginal communities to the McGowan Government's rushed Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2021 (WA) (ACH Act), the WA Alliance of Native Title Representative Bodies and Service Providers (the Alliance) is hosting the ‘Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Protection Co-Design Workshop'. The gathering will focus on the implementation of the ACH Act; it's associated guidelines, regulations and on-going review, and explore a credible, best practice co-design approach. For genuine co-design to be achieved, the workshop is an important first step in engaging with relevant stakeholders – including government and industry representatives, heritage professionals, and co-design experts – in an Aboriginal-led conversation about what ‘co-design' truly is. Dr Christopher Kueh, an expert in co-design from Edith Cowan University, has been invited to share his knowledge of the potential for co-design to revolutionise how to protect and manage Aboriginal cultural heritage. “Co-design is about designing with, not for,” said Dr Kueh. “It's a collaborative effort that engages communities to identify and unpack the complex challenges they face. By focusing on story-telling and iterative transformation, we can create a sustainable approach to design, that is open to continual feedback and improvement.” Day One of the workshop will be an opportunity for Aboriginal people to come together to discuss their priorities and goals for the co-design process. Participants will then share their expectations on the drafting of the regulations and how co-design should work in practice. Day Two will welcome industry, investors and government representatives to build on the conversation to collectively improve Aboriginal cultural heritage protection. WA Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Hon. Dr Tony Buti MLA, will also join the workshop on Day Two to hear from delegates and update attendees on the current status of the ACH Act and its implementation. The Alliance event partners hosting the workshop include Yamatji Marlpa Aboriginal Corporation, South West Aboriginal Land and Sea Council, Native Title Services Goldfields, and the National Native Title Council.

Fears over the future of the most famous street in Australian TV have prompted a call to consider heritage protection. Monday's long-awaited return to city workplaces was something of a fizzer, with the state government urged to unveil “real incentives” to get people back into offices.  A loophole allowing scalpers to sell tickets to sports events, concerts and theatre shows at hugely inflated prices has been closed in an update of Victorian laws.  The Russian-born mother of Australian boxing star Tim Tszyu has bravely spoken out against Russia's war on Ukraine, slamming Vladimir Putin from Moscow where she has spent the past three weeks on holiday.  Fears over the future of the most famous street in Australian TV have prompted a call to consider heritage protection.

Two weeks in I said, this is global.” The Djab Wurrung Heritage Protection Embassy have been protecting sacred land threatened by the Western Highway expansion project.

Prof. Philip discusses the work of SHIRĪN, an NGO that is bringing together data generated by research groups that had worked in Syria prior to 2011. Its aim is to collate data, currently dispersed across many countries, to help create a Syrian HER. SHIRIN is an initiative from the global community of scholars active in the field of archaeology, art and history of the Ancient Near East. It brings together a significant proportion of those international research groups that were working in Syria prior to 2011, with the purpose of making their expertise available to wider heritage protection efforts. Accordingly, its International Committee includes the directors of a number of long-term international research programmes, and others who share their strong commitment to the effective protection of the heritage of Syria. SHIRIN will also collaborate on the creation of a comprehensive database of elements of Syrian heritage. This will provide a basic core of knowledge to which evidence of damage can be added on a case-by-case basis, and will allow the evaluation of the overall pattern and scale of damage resulting from the conflict, as it presents across different regions of Syria and the various classes of monument. It will thus propose a key source of information that can be made available to those involved in heritage protection at a local level, so that they have the necessary knowledge to prioritize heritage protection efforts in a systematic manner.
