An Atlas of countercartography
This Is Not an Atlas will be presented next week in Berlin at the Linke Buchtage.
From Friday on a selection of counter-maps will be exposed in the rooms of the book fair and on Sunday (14:00 – 16:00) we will present the project Not-an-Atlas (in German!), show our brand new documentary on counter-cartographies and discuss our recent insights from Latin America as well as future projects.
Our Release Events on the 20th of October at ZK/U (Zentrum für Kunst und Urbanistik) in Berlin and on the 25th of October at W3 (Werkstatt für internationale Kultur und Politik) in Hamburg were great! Over 400 people in Berlin an around 50 in Hamburg attending lectures and workshops, connecting with each other, and of course taking first glimpses into the book. Thanks to all the guests, supporters and visitors.
Here some words from Denis Wood on the events (http://www.deniswood.net/news.htm) and a nice report in Spanish from the Colectivo de Geografía Crítica de Ecuador (https://geografiacriticaecuador.org/2018/11/07/lanzamiento-de-this-is-not-an-atlas-en-berlin).

We are very happy to announce that finally This Is Not an Atlas will be released as a book and want to celebrate this event. After four years of collectively editing, we want to foster the encounter of counter-cartographers from diverse contexts around the globe not only on the pages of Not-an-Atlas but also on the ground. A series of events, consisting of exhibitions, panel discussions, and workshops, aim to facilitate the exchange of counter-cartographic knowledge and practices. We want to present this global collection of counter-cartographies in a way that activists, academics, artists, counter-cartographers, editors and authors of This Is Not an Atlas can share their experiences in different ways. The events in Berlin and Hamburg will be held mainly in English.
