"‘[m]aps are of-the-moment, brought into being through practices (embodied, social, technical), always re-made every time they are engaged with; mapping is a process of constant re-territorialisation. As such, maps are transitory and fleeting, being contingent, relational and context-dependent. Maps are practices – they are always mappings; spatial practices enacted to solve relational problems."

Kitchin and Dodge

"... data practices are material and embodied, as they involve human labour and power relations."

Fotopoulou

...maps represent the world through a veil of ideology, are fraught with internal tensions, provide classic examples of power-knowledge, and are always caught up in wider political contexts.  J. B Harley (1990)

How can we challenge power and representation with our maps?

Thank you!
