May 20, 2018 - Mapping Zócalo
How can you use a map to get lost? If we explore places differently, we might see things we've never noticed before. After discussing Psychogeography and cartography as a powerful tool for storytelling, this workshop will invite participants to create thematic maps of Zócalo, based on their own interests or whims. At the end of the workshop, we will share our maps and experiences, compiling a new atlas of Zócalo that will provoke different ways to think about the places we inhabit together. Daniel Rotsztain is the Urban Geographer, an artist, writer and cartographer whose work examines our relationship to the places we inhabit. TheUrbanGeographer.ca |
