This workshop engaged 13 participants over 2 sessions of two hours each. The participants attended from 6 countries.
The objective was to explore territories occupied during the pandemic through dialogue and mental cartographies. • Methodology: Participants were introduced to a framework for cartography beyond geographic accuracy, towards intuitive mappings of experiences, guided by certain prompts related to the global pandemic. This framework is inspired by the work of Felix Guattari and Gilles Deleuze on cartography, and Arturo Escobar’s work on Pluriverse. It also included relevant research on diagramming and visual thinking, as well as participatory mapping techniques. On the second part of the workshop, I developed a methodology to map attributes of territories that are rarely displayed in normative forms of mapmaking, such as networks, emotions and flows, and held dialogues about the tensions between individuality and collectivity, appropriation and reinvention of territories. This methodology can be understood as “mental cartographies”, and in this case related specifically to the global COVID-19 pandemic. |
