The Flanders Architecture Institute (VAi) and art centre Het Bos host three evenings on the environmental dimensions of genocide.
We explore why and how genocidal violence targets not just people but also their landscapes, homes and cities.
During the first evening Amal Sarsour (United Nations University) and Lucia Rebolino (Forensic Architecture) reflect on ecocide: the destruction of natural and agricultural ecologies — and how to survive it.
-----
Between 18:00h and 20:00h, the Boskeuken serves food prepared by chef Nour, a Palestinian refugee from Lebanon.
“Every dish I prepare carries a part of my identity and the culture I come from. Through my food, I hope to share a taste of our history — a history rich with warmth, stories, and delicious recipes passed down through generations. Cooking allows me to honour where I come from and invite others to truly feel and understand the beauty of our heritage.”

The -cide series will be presented in English.
The talks are free of admission, registration is required.
