As the campaign for justice and accountability continues, this screening and discussion series seeks to reexamine Forensic Architecture’s investigative and documentary approach to the Grenfell case, and to bring the experiences of survivors of the fire into conversation with some of the broader social and political failures that that exacerbated the horrific event.Forensic Architecture’s film, Situated Testimonies of Grenfell (2024), offers a multi-perspectival account of these failures, while foregrounding the lived experience, memory, and resilience of the Grenfell community. Eleven individuals affected by the fire – residents of Grenfell, bereaved family members, and residents of the local area – collaborated with researchers from Forensic Architecture to tell their stories through interaction with a 3D digital model of the tower and its surrounding environment, reconstructing their former homes and the events of the night as they remembered them. The 60-minute film is both a work of collective remembrance and a vital body of evidence in the ongoing pursuit of accountability and justice for victims and survivors.Each screening will be followed by a discussion focused on a different theme, bringing together community members, Forensic Architecture researchers, and invited speakers. Wellbeing support workers will be present at each event. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/london/situated-testimonies-of-grenfell-on-social-and-political-failure/100001980371408192 - **Event Categories**: entertainment, art, theatre - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: London - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Ian Gulland Lecture Theatre, Goldsmiths, University of London - **lat**: 51.4743386 - **long**: -0.0353624 - **full address**: Ian Gulland Lecture Theatre, Goldsmiths, University of London, 8 Lewisham Way, London, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Situated Testimonies of Grenfell: On Social and Political Failure - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/091c9ca1a4f90d9b5b1335eeac623751c6669018d4479b5612a9ce6f70f4e3b6-rimg-w1200-h635-dc757474-gmir.jpg?v=1769232392 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Situated Testimonies of Grenfell: On Social and Political Failure being held? - **A:** Situated Testimonies of Grenfell: On Social and Political Failure takes place on Thu, 29 Jan, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Thu, 29 Jan, 2026 at 09:00 pm at Ian Gulland Lecture Theatre, Goldsmiths, University of London, 8 Lewisham Way, London, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Situated Testimonies of Grenfell: On Social and Political Failure? - **A:** Situated Testimonies of Grenfell: On Social and Political Failure is organized by Forensic Architecture. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
