An evening discussion titled “Conditions of Life, Calculated,” hosted at Giorno Poetry Systems in New York and co-presented by Cabinet and Giorno Poetry Systems. Eyal Weizman, a London-based architect and founder of Forensic Architecture, speaks with Sina Najafi, editor-in-chief of Cabinet magazine. Taking Weizman's book Ungrounding: The Architecture of Genocide as its starting point, the conversation examines genocidal violence and the slow, indirect destruction of the environments—land, housing, infrastructure, and institutions—that sustain peoples' lives, with particular attention to Indigenous populations dispossessed of their habitats. The free event is sold out, with a live radio broadcast possible if it can be arranged.
