Shared Vulnerability
The Zone Shared Vulnerability addresses the ways seismic signatures—literal and figurative—impact social cohesion, governance and memory. It focuses on displacement and recovery as well as the research on war-induced seismicity. It turns towards communities and how they respond to disruption and uncertainty. Through dialogue, testimony and collective reflection, the zone aims to contribute to acknowledge the need for care and solidarity.
