Unlike maps that chart colonial matters, map-making is a tender practice. Maps can be private communication matters, self-written poems, and writings of personal memories. Have you ever identified yourself with a geographic place? Imagined yourself as a river? A cliff? A beach? Have you ever recorded a memory on a map? Did any map whisper a poem to you? This is a practice of making kinship with geographic places and their emotional translations on the surface of a map. We will make a map of an imagined island. We will explore ways of cartographic imagination with intimate collectivity. Drawing process will follow:
Delineations / Weaving - Naming / Place Making - Hatching / Meditating.
The process will be in company with reading texts and drawings/maps as references.
