Thursday, March 5, 7:00 – 8:00 pm New York (EST) time, Online: the New York Map Society presents Bill Rankin speaking about his new book: “Radical Cartography” which includes over 150 full-color maps, many created by the author and by other cutting-edge mapmakers. Maps are not neutral visualizations of facts. They’re innately political, defining how the world is divided, what becomes visible and what stays hidden, and whose voices are heard — they don’t just show us information, they help construct our world. “Radical Cartography” exposes the consequences of how maps represent boundaries, layers, people, projections, color, scale, and time. Rankin says it’s time to reimagine what a map can be and how it can be used. RSVP kapochunas@gmail.com to receive the Zoom login.
