The Grenfell Tower Fire: Situated Testimonies
Grenfell Testimony Week was a private event and exhibition featuring contributions from individuals affected by the 2017 Grenfell Tower Fire.
The event was part of a Settlement Agreement from 2023, resulting from a civil claim brought by bereaved family members, survivors, and nearby residents against private companies, government bodies, and the London Fire Brigade.
Testimony Week offered a space for affected individuals to speak directly to representatives from the Defendant organizations considered by many to be responsible for the fire, as well as to a wider invited audience.
