This is not an atlas

An Atlas of countercartography

By

Deep Mapping Workshop & Screening of Counter-Cartography Documentary

We are happy to invite all of you to an Not-an-Atlas event with Brett Bloom & Bonnie Fortune (in cooperation with Le Monde Diplomatique – Deutsche Ausgabe) this Tuesday, July 2nd, at the 142 Tage für 99 Jahre! Dauergartenfestival of the Prinzessinnengarten (Prinzenstraße 35-38, 10969 Berlin).

In their workshop about Deep Mapping, Brett Bloom and Bonnie Fortune will address Counter-Cartographies as a way to be conscious of a place in such a manner as to hold multiple layers of understanding of the present moment in a non-reductive and robust manner. This is in contradistinction to the ways we normally speed through and consume the landscapes and places of our petroleum-driven, industrialized lives, and the related sense of self this produces. https://notanatlas.org/maps/deep-maps/

Kollektiv orangotango will exhibit a selection of Counter-Cartographies from the book “This Is Not an Atlas” and present the documentary “This Is Not an Atlas – This Is a Documentary on Counter-Cartographies”. While the exhibition displays a selection of counter-mapping projects from all over the world, the documentary shows how maps influence our understanding of the world, are a useful tool to deconstruct it, can be applied to confront social injustices or create new commons. https://notanatlas.org/

Not-an-Atlas in Athens

On the 20th of April the Not-an-Atlas will be presented in Athens at the 8th International Conference of Critical Geography ICCG 2019 (https://www.iccg2019.org/programme).

Over the past couple of years kollektiv orangotango has gathered counter-cartographies from all over the world. “This Is Not an Atlas – A Global Collection of Counter-Cartographies” shows how maps are created and transformed as a part of political struggle, for critical research or in the context of art and education. This collection will be presented in Athens in an exhibition, in a documentary on counter-cartographies and in an video message.

Presented by kollektiv orangotango and Geobrujas (https://twitter.com/geobrujas?lang=es)
