Project Overview

Bearing Witness

An interactive lecture by an anthropologist explores the origin and evolution of human rights forensics.

A large projection surface is an environmental backdrop to a human rights section of the Visible Proofs exhibition, which features an interactive lecture by Clyde Snow, an American forensic anthropologist dedicated to the science of “letting the bones speak for themselves.” In this experience, visitors select chapters in his slide-show lecture to gain insight into how forensic evidence can solve cases of genocide and mass murder.
