The prestigious Right Livelihood Award, also known as the ‘Alternative Nobel Prize,’ has named London-based research organization Forensic Architecture as one of its laureates for 2024.
Forensic Architecture is a multidisciplinary team of researchers, architects, artists, and activists who use advanced technology and investigative techniques to uncover human rights violations and injustices around the world. Their work has been instrumental in revealing the truth behind numerous incidents, including environmental crimes, police brutality, and war crimes.
The group’s dedication to exposing the truth and seeking justice for victims of human rights abuses has earned them international recognition and acclaim. They have worked tirelessly to hold governments, corporations, and other powerful entities accountable for their actions, often putting themselves at great risk in the process.
Receiving the Right Livelihood Award is a significant honor for Forensic Architecture and serves as a testament to the importance of their work in advancing human rights and social justice. The award recognizes their exceptional contributions to investigative journalism and data analysis, as well as their innovative approach to using architecture as a tool for activism.
Forensic Architecture’s commitment to exposing the truth and advocating for justice make them a worthy recipient of the ‘Alternative Nobel Prize.’ Their groundbreaking work serves as a powerful reminder of the vital role that investigative research plays in holding those in power accountable and fighting for a more just and equitable world.
