Description

Making space for imagination can shift research and community planning from a reflective stance to a "future forming" orientation and practice.

Cultural mapping is an emerging discourse of collaborative, community-based inquiry and advocacy.

This book looks at artistic approaches to cultural mapping, focusing on imaginative cartography.

It emphasizes the importance of creative process that engages with the "felt sense" of community experiences, an element often missing from conventional mapping practices.

International artistic contributions in this book reveal the creative research practices and languages of artists, a prerequisite to understanding the multi-modal interface of cultural mapping.

The book examines how contemporary artistic approaches can challenge conventional asset mapping by animating and honouring the local, giving voice and definition to the vernacular, or recognizing the notion of place as inhabited by story and history.

It explores the processes of seeing and listening and the importance of the aesthetic as a key component of community self-expression and self-representation.

Innovative contributions in this book champion inclusion and experimentation, expose unacknowledged power relations, and catalyze identity formation, through multiple modes of artistic representation and performance.

It will be a valuable resource for individuals involved with creative research methods, performance, and cultural mapping as well as social and urban planning.
