Listen to presentations as part of a two-day series of events that explore how mapping and counter-mapping might contribute to ethnographic and historical research. Explore how art, activism, and scholarship help give these material objects a political afterlife.

Mapping is a mode of storytelling. Yet, cartography is often concentrated in the hands of the powerful. In response, “counter-mapping” has developed as a practice that empowers communities to challenge hegemonic narratives about space and foreground subaltern knowledge.

The Mapping and Counter-mapping: Methods for Art, Activism, and Scholarship series includes talks, a graduate student counter-mapping workshop, and a roundtable discussion.

Organized by Jatin Dua and Alyssa Paredes, with Francesca Conterno and Kristi Rhead.
