Border Forensics presents an audiovisual exhibition of investigative films documenting violence at borders.
Excerpts from three films, The Death of Blessing Matthew (2022), The Death of Roger Nzoy Wilhelm (2025) and Asymmetric Visions (2023), combine documentary footage with geospatial analysis, data visualization and 3D modeling. The works reconstruct contested events, interrogate aerial surveillance and Mediterranean migration control, and foreground communities affected by border violence. The project examines how images and data can document abuses, challenge official narratives and advance claims for mobility justice.
Opening: September 22, 18h30 – speeches, performance, drinks.
Prof. Walter Romero, PhD (University of Buenos Aires), Chevalier of the Order of Academic Palms, is a tenured professor and director of the Dr. Gerardo H. Pagés Institute, with long-standing research on Borges and world literatures.
This lecture examines Borges’s rereading of Voltaire’s Candide and Flaubert’s Bouvard et Pécuchet, investigating how he appropriates Voltairean irony and Flaubertian encyclopedic satire to shape recurring themes — infinity, skepticism, and the limits or defeat of knowledge — and to trace their lasting imprint on his aesthetic and ethical universe.
