"It felt really important to talk about how the U.S. is responsible for the destruction of homes elsewhere," Chalabi explained in a panel discussion about the installation held at the Cooper Union last fall. "We were having these conversations while domicide was taking place very, very, very visibly in Gaza, and that without a doubt informed the decision of what to focus on [in our installation]."
Domicide, a term coined by geographer J. Douglas Porteus, increasingly describes the systematic destruction of homes due to war, reflecting a significant human rights concern.
Scholars have used domicide to describe the loss of homes due to war and the displacement of people due to infrastructural, economic, or cultural reasons, highlighting its multifaceted impact.
