Francesca Albanese at bUm

A lecture by UN Special Rapporteur #FrancescaAlbanese as part of the February 19th event: Conditions of Life Calculated to Destroy, #Legal and #Forensic Perspectives on the Ongoing #Gaza #Genocide - at bUm, Berlin.

The lecture was supposed to take place in a big lecture hall at Freie universitat, along with Eyal Weizman, director of #ForensicArchitecture. But the university cancelled the event after massive critique, amongst others from the Israeli ambassador, and from the #mayor of Berlin, #KaiWegner, who called it antisemitic. The relocated event at bUm took place under police presence. A few days earlier, Albanese’s lecture at a University in #Munich had also been cancelled, as we mentioned in Episode One.

Huge thanks to #UN #SpecialRapporteur Francesca Albanese, Zoë Claire Miller and bUm Berlin.

Some journeys don’t follow a straight line. Mine didn’t.

There were doubts, setbacks, and lessons that shaped how I show up today.

Stepping into local government taught me that leadership isn’t just about decisions, it’s about listening, learning, and showing up for people.

I’m grateful to The Paris End and Cameron Hurst for capturing
