Abstract
Taking the metaphor of mapping forward, this paper presented recent chartings, research developed as part of a wider project tracing the overlaps between experimental sound-making and independent film and video practices in London during the1970s - a time when artists and musicians pushed mediums and blurred the intermedial boundaries between artforms. The starting point for this 15 minute paper was an exploration of the intersections between two London-based collectively organised groups during the late-1970s - the London Musicians Collective and London Film-makers‘ Co-operative, who shared the same address in Gloucester Avenue in Camden. Though distinct, each coalition of practitioners inhabited overlapping spaces, geographies that were physical, social, artistic and critical, and that connect to different sites and artistic practices across London.

Bibliographical note
Impact: Paper delivered as part of the research process development of a separate article for the Canadian journal 'Intermédialités: History and Theory of the Arts‘ on 'Mapping (Intermediality)‘ (No. 29, Spring 2018). Part of the wider UrbanPhotoFest programme 2017, this was the 10th instalment of the annual Urban Encounters conference, which was part of Tate‘s Public Programmes in partnership with the Centre for Urban and Community Research, Goldsmiths University London; University of West London; Kingston University London; Falmouth Universities and Openvizor. The conference not only provided an international platform to discuss current and new research, through its many partners, online presences and different types of public engagement activities participants were able to reach new, large and varied audiences online and at other events in internationally renowned institutions. Other festival events included the Urban Photographers Association (UPA) annual artist‘s lecture (Roger Ballen at Tate Britain); a symposium, at The Photographers‘ Gallery; a masterclass with Francesca Catastini in association with The Mango Lab, a seminar with London Independent Photography (LIP), and the Urban Photo Village (curated by photographer and architect Stefano Carnelli), which included eleven exhibitions within walking distance of each other in Deptford.Organising Body: Tate Public Programmes in partnership with the Centre for Urban and Community Research, Goldsmiths University London; University of West London; Kingston University London; Falmouth Universities and Openvizor
