Cementing The Occupation: Pipelines of Bureautic Dispossession
by Suzan Ela Hanow, Henrik Palmer, Andrii Tinkow, Aris Wiegand, Linus Ziegler
Pipelines of Bureaucratic Dispossession presents the two methods currently used by the occupying Russian power in temporarily occupied Donetsk, Ukraine. Both pipelines provide a veneer of legality to blatant war crimes, violating multiple international laws. All data presented were scraped from official Russian government websites.This project is one portion of the research from our transnational working group between New Practice in Art and Technology, the Center for Urban History in Lviv, the Invisible University for Ukraine, and Bard College Berlin. The project combines open-source human rights investigation with local wartime documentation. The main outcome is a bi-national human rights report that exposes forced displacement and unlawful reconstruction in Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine, which will be published in December 2026.This project emerged from the cooperation with the Digital Verification Corps (DVC) of Amnesty International’s global network dedicated to the verification and analysis of digital evidence of human rights abuses. Since its founding in 2016, the DVC has contributed to more than one hundred investigations across ninety countries.
