The Quarantine Atlas is a poignant collection of more than 65 homemade maps created by people around the globe that reveal how the coronavirus pandemic has transformed our world, in ways both universal and unique. Along with eight original essays, it's a celebration of wayfinding through a crisis that altered the way we experience our environment.
