    #21 - RIWAQ : Safeguarding Heritage in Times of Destruction

    In this compelling episode, host Professor Chiara De Cesari engages in a thought-provoking conversation with members of RIWAQ—Centre for Architectural Conservation in Ramallah, Palestine. This organisation is committed to preserving Palestinian cultural heritage. As RIWAQ undertakes the monumental task of documenting and restoring architectural sites across the West Bank and Gaza, they confront the challenges of maintaining cultural memory amidst destruction. The discussion highlights the pressing need for community-centred cultural initiatives that operate independently of governmental influences, illustrating how civic organisations can build a robust cultural infrastructure in the face of adversity.  Throughout the episode, the two members of RIWAQ share their personal experiences and perspectives on the cultural landscape in Palestine. They discuss the devastating impact on both physical and digital archives, as well as the innovative strategies employed to safeguard vital cultural narratives for future generations. By fostering partnerships with civil society groups, RIWAQ exemplifies the power of grassroots efforts in cultural preservation. This episode offers a poignant reflection on resilience and the enduring hope for a future where cultural heritage is not merely preserved but flourishes, inspiring listeners to consider the role they can play in supporting these crucial efforts.

    #Crossover Errant Podcast: Launch of Embodying Resistance — with Ghiwa Sayegh

    This episode is a crossover podcast featuring the launch event of Errant Journal's seventh issue, titled 'Embodying Resistance'. It includes a live interview with guest editor Ghiwa Sayegh, recorded at Framer Framed in Amsterdam on 3 November 2024.  This issue of Errant Journal aims to interrogate the role of the body in strategies of resistance from below. Taking Palestine as a starting point, the ongoing genocide committed by Israel and other colonial powers and the people’s continued struggle for liberation inform the issue’s thinking and praxis. From this political standpoint, it explores the ways in which bodies – that are sexualised, criminalised, racialised, crip – have been able to divert and subvert in order to fight back. To resist from the body is what crip theory tells us is a matter of need. It is a body that no longer fears deviation, specifically because of how cheap our lives are considered and how dangerous our futures are treated. It is about finding community and kinship when we are told we are alone. Ghiwa Sayegh is an anarcha-queer writer, independent publisher, and archivist from Beirut. They are the founding editor of Kohl, a Journal for Body and Gender Research and a co-founder of Intersectional Knowledge Publishers. This episode originally aired on Errant's channel on November 17, 2024. Issue #7 can be purchased here. www.errantjournal.org   www.framerframed.nl

    #19 - Digital Doppelgangers: Art and the Failure of Facial Recognition

    In this episode, we delve into the forensic aspects of Boogaloo Bias, where Jennifer Gradecki and Derek Curry explore how the intersection of technology and forensic science shapes society’s perception of identity and security. As part of the Really? Art and Knowledge in Times of Crisis exhibition, their interactive research project critiques the growing use of facial recognition technologies by law enforcement and intelligence agencies. By creating a facial recognition system trained solely on characters from the 1980s breakdancing movie Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo, they expose the biases and inaccuracies in modern forensic technologies. This project questions the legitimacy of facial recognition as a reliable forensic tool and raises critical discussions about the ethical implications of using such technologies in law enforcement and public surveillance. Through the use of humor and innovative artistry, Gradecki and Curry shine a light on the complex relationship between technological advancements and human oversight in forensics. ⁠Jennifer Gradecki⁠ is an artist and theorist whose practice investigates secretive sociotechnical systems, making them accessible to the public. Derek Curry⁠ is an artist-researcher whose work focuses on the impact of new technologies on society and their role in power structures.  www.framerframed.nl

    #17 - Terror Element: The Fragility of Truth in Forensic Science

    In this episode, we are featuring a recorded lecture from the symposium Synthetic Vision/Images of Power with Anna Engelhardt and Mark Cinkevich. The symposium featured talks by scholars and artists on the various transformations induced by Artificial Intelligence within the interplay of power, knowledge and images. Engelhardt and Cinkevich discuss their work Terror Element, a hybrid documentary that examines the fallibility of truth through the lens of forensic science and investigative methods. The work was commissioned by Framer Framed with the support of the Netherlands Film Fund and Creative Industries Fund NL as part of the collaborative project Immerse/Interact. Terror Element explores the complexities of forensic science and the concept of truth, examining the blurred lines between reality and fiction in the portrayal of events. Through a combination of CGI and archival footage, the documentary follows Nina, a forensic expert, as she confronts the unsettling truths behind a series of 1999 explosions in Russia. The film challenges the audience to question the reliability of forensic evidence and the narratives constructed around it, making it a thought-provoking exploration of power, truth, and the role of technology in contemporary society. Terror Element is part of the exhibition Really? Art and Knowledge in Time of Crisis, which is open until 29 September 2024 at Framer Framed.
