Join us for "Subjective Atlas of … Cairo: On Participatory Design for Counter Mapping" a talk on Sunday June 25th at 7pm by designer and founder of Subjective Atlas Annelys de Vet.
This lecture questions the act of cartography and aims for multi-vocal and pluriverse representations of a place. Subjective Atlases are cartographic publications mapping a country, region or city by the inhabitants themselves. The initiative supports communities in mapping their environments. With this presentation we like to open the conversation on a possible ’Subjective Atlas of Cairo’. See: www.subjectiveeditions.org
