An exhibit in London, England, called “Mapping the City” turns the concept of geographically accurate maps into something quite different. In the Somerset House show, some 50 international graffiti and street artists use a variety of media to create visual representations of spaces that are reflect emotions, personal meaning, and private references.
The free exhibit runs from January 22-February 15, 2015.
There are also several related events, hosted by University College London Anthropology, including Mapping through Music, Mapping through Discourse, Mapping Through Making, and Mapping through Film.
