In 2025, the Festival d’Automne launched an Evening School to create an alternative, non-academic space for knowledge-sharing, designed to bring audiences together around a thought-provoking programme where artistic practice is combined with the audience’s experience. Following an inaugural edition conceived with Felwine Sarr, the 2026 Evening School has been conferred to Forensic Architecture. Under the direction of Eyal Weizman, this research agency, composed of investigators from different disciplines, with its base at Goldsmiths, University of London, develops methods of enquiry into state-perpetrated acts of violence, at the crossroads between art, law and journalism.
