Explore the Collective Publication by Project’s Participants: «Warning the City/Zens»
We present a collective publication within the CISR e.V. project «WARning the City/Zens»—the webpage gathers stories, projects, reflections, and drafts by project participants who share their experiences of living in new cities and countries, under new (geo)political conditions. The stories provide a unique snapshot of time from the perspective of personal experiences.

Initially, “WARning the City/Zens” was conceived as a project focused on rethinking urban development and activism in the post-2022 context. However, the project’s scope expanded. We realized that today it is impossible to talk about urban studies without addressing issues of language, migration, coloniality, hierarchy, responsibility, solidarity, and civic engagement. These reflections became the starting point for the collective publication.
The chaotic arrangement of materials reflects the multilayered and complex situation we live in today. However, for convenience, there is also a section with an alphabetical index of materials. The design was created in collaboration with project participants.
Curator of the collective publication: Lilia Voronkova
