The project spatially maps residents’ lived relationships with the city of Philadelphia – its paths, barriers, and refuges – and transforms those maps into collective art. The project’s artmaking draws on ethnographic mapping practices to challenge how power shapes spaces and their representations, using maps grounded in community experience and co-creation to collaboratively create art.This free event will take place at the Rotunda from 4:30 pm to
