MAPPED
Beyond the Map
Why do we make maps — and why do we keep making them?
One map at a time. Each episode publishes one map and a short curatorial text exploring its logic, history and meaning. The project unfolds across three thematic sections — appropriating knowledge, territory, meaning.

About
MAPPED is a blog of critical cartography. Each episode publishes one map and a short curatorial text exploring its logic, history and meaning. The project unfolds across three thematic sections — appropriating knowledge, territory, meaning — and returns to a question that stays open: why do we make maps, and why do we keep making them?
