#04: Alternative cartographies, 2020

Directed by Jean Cristofol and Anna Guilló

This fourth issue of antiAtlas Journal focuses on maps considered as apparatus that participate in artistic, activist or scientific endeavours. They are no longer immobile representations of an objective reality, but rather moments that constitute productive and realizing processes, caught in the stakes of a reality in motion.
