Varia has printed the ninth edition of SomeTimes!

This edition is a reflection on a conference that took place in 2025 and was attended by two members of Varia, Alice Strete & amy pickles. The After Industry International Conference, whose theme was ‘Work Hard, Pay Hard. Regeneration Utopia’, was in Slovakia and delved into the post industrial world that emerged after the fall of the soviet/socialist regimes in Central and Eastern Europe.

The editors of this issue of SomeTimes have shared some information about the conference, shared some highlights and collected a few resonating Varia events and research from 2025.
