LIFE BEYOND SURVIVAL: Care, Creativity and Hope in post-3.11 Tohoku

This panel is part of a wider series of events organized by Ca’ Foscari University of Venice to commemorate the ten years since the 3.11 earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disaster in North-Eastern Japan. Through three ethnographic perspectives, we will explore how the Great East Japan Earthquake survivors find ways to embrace complexity and contradiction, restore self-determination, and creatively reshape their post-disaster experience.
