The Environmental Continuum of Genocide in Namibia

Overview

This video combines oral histories with historical and contemporary photographs, cartography and gaming software to map the changes in the Omaheke region of Namibia. Humans, plants and landscapes all become witnesses to the long-term effects of German colonisation. The work supports demands for ancestral lands to be returned to the people of the region and reparations paid. It was initiated by the collectives Forensic Architecture and Forensis, in partnership with The Ovaherero/Ovambanderu Genocide Foundation (OGF).
