Forensic Architecture and Borderline to be Honoured with top European nod

The European Cultural Foundation (ECF) has announced that it is awarding its annual Princess Margriet Award for Culture to the pioneering UK-based research agency, Forensic Architecture, and Polish cultural platform and foundation, Borderland.

Forensic Architecture and Borderland will be presented with the prestigious award by Her Royal Highness Princess Margriet of the Netherlands at a ceremony at the Stadsschouwburg in Amsterdam, before a large international audience on Wednesday 16th May 2018.

Marking its tenth anniversary in 2018, this year’s ECF Princess Margriet Award for Culture celebrates courageous citizens and organisations that are making a difference through culture, including artists and thinkers who are contributing to a more open and democratic Europe.

Chosen by an independent jury of experts for their outstanding work, Forensic Architecture and Borderland each use art as a way of exposing injustice in communities, and to recover and rethink the past in order to change the world.
