Opis

This book looks at artistic approaches to cultural mapping, focusing on imaginative cartography. It emphasises the importance of creative process that engages with the "felt sense" of community experiences, an element often missing from conventional mapping practices. International artistic contributions in this book reveal the creative research practices and languages of artists, a prerequisite to understanding the multi-modal interface of cultural mapping.
