The Georgian-Abkhaz conflict is considered one of them. It is a conflict that materializes as an unrecognized borderland where a community of displaced Georgians from Gali have constructed mobile lives through contingent and contested movements. In that sense, the conflict zone is anything but static. It is characterized by constant mobility, and contingent events and crises caused by various actors, ranging from Russian patrols to a flooding river. Drawing on two years of ethnographic research on the crossings of the Gali people, this presentation examines how people develop anticipatory tactics, spatial knowledge, and creative resourcefulness to generate manageable lives in a zone where livelihoods are dependent on a shifting, militarized boundary line. In doing so, this talk argues that persistence in protracted conflict zones is an active practice of mitigation and calibration of everyday volatility, and an ongoing attempt to secure a livable present when the future remains uncertain. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/cambridge/mobility-and-persistence-in-georgias-de-facto-borderland-with-abkhazia/100001984319895223 - **Event Categories**: art, fine-arts, theatre - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Cambridge - **state**: MA - **country**: United States - **location**: S354, CGIS South Building, 1730 Cambridge Street - **lat**: 42.3750154 - **long**: -71.11314759999999 - **full address**: S354, CGIS South Building, 1730 Cambridge Street, 1730 Cambridge Street, Cambridge, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Mobility and Persistence in Georgia's De Facto Borderland with Abkhazia - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/339c21d2c3fdbb9842a835259defc7509250a6d3ea62c39187ab7d0e3d294719-rimg-w1200-h600-dc5c6260-gmir.jpg?v=1772725165 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Mobility and Persistence in Georgia's De Facto Borderland with Abkhazia being held? - **A:** Mobility and Persistence in Georgia's De Facto Borderland with Abkhazia takes place on Tue, 24 Mar, 2026 at 04:30 pm to Tue, 24 Mar, 2026 at 06:00 pm at S354, CGIS South Building, 1730 Cambridge Street, 1730 Cambridge Street, Cambridge, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Mobility and Persistence in Georgia's De Facto Borderland with Abkhazia? - **A:** Mobility and Persistence in Georgia's De Facto Borderland with Abkhazia is organized by Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
