#GAL2024 Goethe Annual Lecture 2024

For the Goethe Annual Lecture 2024, we proudly welcomed Prof Eyal Weizman MBE as our guest speaker. He is a life fellow of the British Academy and in 2020 received an MBE for services to architecture. Weizman will speak about Forensic Architecture, the organisation he leads, which in 2010 grew out of the Centre for Architectural Research at Goldsmiths, University of London.

A recording will be available on YouTube and our website in mid-December.
