Comapping

Article

Throughout modern history, there has been a radical current of marginalized communities creating maps as a way to represent themselves and their stories: from the Black Panthers sharing the needs of their neighborhoods to feminist activists in Mexico mapping the thousands of missing women to the queer community collecting their stories in interactive maps.
