Dimitra Andritsou
Dimitra has been working with Forensic Architecture since 2019, where she has held a variety of roles, from advanced spatial and media research to setting up new office structures. Since 2020, she has been involved in the set-up and coordination of FA’s sister agency in Berlin, Forensis, where she is currently Senior Researcher, providing oversight across the organisation’s research programme, as well as over the development of new evidentiary and investigative techniques. In her work at FA/Forensis, Dimitra has coordinated and contributed to numerous investigations, ranging from right-wing racist terror and border violence to environmental racism and colonial legacies. As of 2024, Dimitra is also working together with the newly established Forensic Architecture Initiative Athens (FAIA).
Dimitra graduated in 2017 from the School of Architecture of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, and in 2019 she completed with distinction the MA in Research Architecture at Goldsmiths, University of London. Her work at the Centre for Research Architecture revolved around spatial politics of migration and bordering, focusing on the reiterative emergence of fire at migrant encampments in Greece.
