Celina Abba
Spatial Researcher at Forensis, Forensic Architecture
Celina is a designer and researcher who explores the intersections between architecture, human rights, and living systems. She works as a spatial Researcher Forensis, the Berlin office of Forensic Architecture. Her research delves into lost narratives of land and people. Uncovering these narratives allows for speculating new Black futures that are rooted in care and kinship.
Currently, Celina is working on research project that traces the length of the Mississippi River, revealing the continuous reproduction of racial and ecological violence and illustrating the intricate ties between historical and contemporary forms of exploitation and oppression. By examining the legacy of plantations, the practice of sharecropping, and the evolution of prison farming, Celina is uncovering the persistent impacts of these systems on both people and the environment.
Celina graduated with distinction from the Harvard Graduate School of Design earning a Master of Landscape Architecture (2023). Her achievements at Harvard include the Landscape Architecture Thesis Prize, the prestigious Charles Eliot Traveling Fellowship, and the Landscape Architecture Foundation Olmsted Scholar award. She also holds a Master of Architecture with Distinction (2020) for which she received the AIA’s highest honor, Additionally, Celina holds two Bachelor's degrees: one in Biology and the other in Environmental Design Studies.
