On 16 April the Subaltern Memories Conference will take place in Florence, Italy. Whether we look at natural disasters in Italy or beyond, the Chernobyl catastrophe of 1986, or the environmental calamities of warfare presented on the basis of the Spanish Civial War and the current War between Russia and Ukraine, this conference aims at putting subaltern memories, experiences, harm, and problems into the focus. Typical stories and legacies built around overcoming and resilience will be challenged.
