In this video essay for the Future Justice series, Isa analyses the justness of the contemporary mode of warfare. Both for her, as a citizen of the Netherlands, as for the people getting caught in the crossfire. Through a collection of images originating from all corners of the internet (see the reference booklet here), Isa discovers the different sides of the story – and possible ways to improve.
Isa graduated with a bachelor's in Graphic Design in 2019. Since she has completed a bachelor's in Conflict Studies from the University of Utrecht and currently works as a researcher at the universities' Intimacies of Remote Warfare programme. Aiming to work at the intersection of design and research, her prime focus is the point where politics, technology and human rights meet.
About Future Justice
'Future Justice' is a programme that invites young artists, researchers and educators to help unpack the idea of a future that is based on justice. Out of deep concern for the world, which is marked by a climate crisis as well as a social and political crisis, ArtEZ studium generale commissioned the publication series 'Future Justice'.
It is a series of publications in which students and alumni of ArtEZ present their visions of the future. 'Future Justice' aims at unfolding alternative ideas of justice, which are informed by ideas of collectivity, care, restoration, non-violence and compassion. In doing so, the series takes a kaleidoscopic, hopeful and meaningful look at the future.
'Future Justice' is a programme commissioned by ArtEZ studium generale it is carried out by the ArtEZ Professorship Aesthetics & Cultures of Technology in cooperation with the ArtEZ Honours Programme.
