    Abstract

    For its tenth year anniversary, under the theme of 'Cartographies‘, this two-day event explored how we make sense of places through visual, sonic and photographic representations, across a variety of global contexts. Bringing together a wide range of international artists, urban theorists and cultural activists, whose work is concerned with mapping contemporary city spaces and landscapes, the programme focuses on the politics of representation, history and memory, and what counts as knowledge.
