Forensis e.V. is a a non-governmental, not-for-profit association in Berlin. Forensis works for and in collaboration with individuals and communities affected by state and corporate violence, to support their demands for justice, reparations and accountability.

Forensis will be represented by Phoebe Walton. With a background in architecture, Phoebe conducts visual and spatial investigations, producing evidence for presentation in legal, political, and cultural forums. She has worked on cases of police brutality, violence towards migrants and refugees and the repression of pro-Palestinian solidarity in Germany. With a feminist approach, Phoebe seeks to foreground marginalised voices, integrating technical and forensic methodologies with the situated knowledge of those at the forefront of a struggle.

Nahed Awwad is a Berlin-based independent Palestinian filmmaker and curator with 22+ years of experience. Her work is rooted in socially engaged storytelling and often explores themes of identity, memory, displacement, and resistance. Her films were screened at Cannes, Hot Docs, and more. Awwad co-founded the POC Art Collective and curates programs highlighting diasporic and Global South voices. Her work bridges film, politics, and memory, centring Palestinian narratives and challenging dominant discourses.
