From 11-12 September, Viki Mladenova participated in the VII ESCAPES conference—a conference of the Laboratory of Critical Migration Studies of the University of Milan. Viki presented a paper entitled "(Dis-)Located Memory: 10 years of the Balkan Route," in a panel on "Mnemonic Solidarity among Diasporas. Global Scenarios, Local Practices, Methodological Innovations" curated by Gianluca Gatta and Monica Massari (University of Milan). 

Viki’s paper philosophically interrogated the interrelated ways the lives refugee-migrants and citizen-residents of Balkan countries shape and are shaped by geographies, applying and demonstrating a relational conceptualization of space.
