Subaltern Geopolitics on the Walls: The Case of 'Orso' in the Streets of Florence

Drawing on participatory observation and interviews, this article shows how political graffiti and informal traces in Florence circulate subaltern geopolitical knowledge following the death of Lorenzo Orsetti in Rojava. It highlights the role of everyday spaces and explains why such visual politics resonates with youth, inscribing the Kurdish struggle into the urban fabric.
