Events include a discussion between survivors and bereaved of Grenfell and Aberfan, along with a community activist from Butetown, Cardiff. Chaired by Peter Apps, author of Show Me the Bodies: How We Let the Grenfell Tower Fire Happen.
Forensic Architecture will screen Situated Testimonies of Grenfell, a film that weaves interconnected stories of the night of the fire, from the perspective of survivors, bereaved families, and witnesses. The screening will be followed by a discussion between Edward Daffarn from Grenfell United and Samaneh Moafi from Forensic Architecture.
In the gallery, artwork inspired by Cardiff and its communities will be on show. Artists include Ophelia Dos Santos, Kyle Legall, Vanja Garaj, Gavin Porter and Jon Pountney. Responding to the theme of community, these works inspire strength and solidarity in the fight for social justice.
Common/Wealth brings together artists Ophelia Dos Santos, Kyle Legall, Vanja Garaj, Gavin Porter, and Jon Pountney for a new exhibition.
We introduce situated testimony—a bespoke methodology developed within Forensic Architecture—as a tool for building collective memory. Using digital modelling and spatial reconstruction, we revisit the site of the incident to reassemble fragmented experiences. This approach allows us to speak across difference, and to articulate a shared truth in spaces such as tribunals.
Forensic Architecture (FA), a research agency based at Goldsmiths, University of London, will screen two films which form part of their wider investigation into the events surrounding the fire.
Leanne Wood and Beth Winter have held a series of community assemblies in the valleys.
