In this project, people have shared how they feel in the city during the heat. What they do to escape it, where it is particularly bad and what they wish for a more liveable Mainz. The interviews were anonymized and compiled in a brochure and a digital map.

Map a-day-in May (a thirty-one cabinet display) Phoebe Nahanni Phoebe Rose Nahanni was a Slavey-Dene geographer and cartographer. She played a central role in the Dene Nation mapping project, which constructed a map of how the Dene Nation actively used about 450,000 square miles of land. This information was one of the factors in the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline Inquiry's recommendation not to construct a pipeline through the Mackenzie River Valley. Nahanni was also active in the social scientific study of arctic and subarctic communities, and is thought to have been the first Slavey-Dene woman to hold a master's degree. To prepare for the Berger Commission, the Dene conducted a comprehensive study. Phoebe Nahanni, led a team of twenty Dene researchers. Their first decision was to manage the research process themselves, choosing not to rely on external white experts. Using hardcopy maps and audiotapes, they interviewed 546 individuals about their hunting, trapping, and other livelihood practices on the land. They then brought the maps back to the communities for re-verification, ensuring greater accuracy and broadening the collaboration for the overall project. During each of the Hearings, a Dene field worker presented the maps, documenting the historical and current land use in the respective community. The evidence they provided to the Inquiry directly challenged the colonial narrative of terra nullius—the false belief that the land was uninhabited. As Nahanni stated: "The maps clearly demonstrate what we've always said before your legal institutions—that we've been here for countless generations; this is our land and our way of life. The proposed oil and gas pipeline routes and construction sites interfere with our land-based activities. The impacts of such intrusions not only disrupt our travel routes and trap lines but also harm the animals, fish, lakes, and environment that are integral to our way of life." (Phoebe Nahanni, 1977).
Map a-day-in May (a thirty-one cabinet display) Phoebe Nahanni Map showing: Sahtu Dene and Metis Traditional Trail Network Text around the map states: TRADITIONAL TRAVEL The land itself is of particular importance in transmitting knowledge from one generation to the next. The Sahtu Dene and Métis landscape is known intimately to elders. Trails, used year-round, provide access to a vast harvesting region. The trails link thousands of place names, each with a story, sometimes many, bound to the place. Names and narratives convey knowledge, and in this way Sahtu Dene and Metis culture is tied directly to the landscape. The network of interconnecting trails provides access to a Sahtu land use area encompassing some 300,000 km. This map shows patterns of land use derived through the Sahtu Dene and Métis trails mapping project. The trails may be water routes or land routes or both depending on the season, and many extend beyond the Sahtu boundary to connect with other major routes of the north. While cutlines and winter roads have opened up further travel routes within the Sahtu, some traditional routes are still used for travel to and from settlements, hunting grounds and camps. When you put out these maps it brings back memories of long time ago. I remember one time we travelled to town walking, no dogs or skiddoo from Aubry Lake. We camped once. The next day we made it to the Hare Indian River. At that time there were no maps. There were people that were smart that made trail from Colville Lake to Fort Good Hope.

Map a-day-in May (a thirty-one cabinet display) Phoebe Nahanni Caption reads: ENDURANCE "The stories I've picked up From the older men are really, really incredible. This long trip up here was done by Charles Yohin. He travelled with three or four families. They stayed at Rabbit Kettle. They met sone people from Tulita who were travelling through south Nahanni. They were hunting or trapping for marten. Rather than continuing on to Tulita on their way to North Nahanni, back to Tulita the men went back to Watson Lake with the families. Charles Yohin said he spent about ten years in the whole area." Phoebe Nahanni, Nahanni Butte, 1975

Map a-day-in May (a thirty-one cabinet display) Louise E. Jefferson Louise Jefferson represents the intersection of two neglected cartographic cultures, women and African Americans, in the mid-twentieth century. Louise Jefferson’s journey through sexism and racism to become a leading member of the artistic and publishing scene gives visibility to the disadvantaged communities from which they emerged and maps this conversion. Their work as an artist, illustrator, photographer, and cartographer demonstrates that maps are more than the objects or things we have conventionally defined them to be. Rather, they are practices and representational images as well as systems of ordering social and spatial identity that connect and empower a people through time and space, and allow African American women to “talk back” against their oppression” From: Yessler, R., & Alderman, D. H. (2021). Art as “talking back”: Louise Jefferson’s life and legacy of counter-mapping. Cartographica, 56(2), 137-150–150.

For the past few weeks I have been working on a project counter-mapping queer men's use of public sexual environments - cottages and cruising gounds - between 1988 and 1993. Here's a blog post about it.

This brilliant Living Maps seminar has been rescheduled to Feb. 27th 6pm UK time! Online so you can all come :) Emilio Vavarella will be sharing his work on #CounterMapping www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/cartograph...?
Particularly awesome to see are some examples from the #openaccess book 'This is Not An Atlas', which I first encountered at a social enter in Kreuzberg, Berlin, in 2023. #DRI2025 #GIS #countermapping

Text by Larissa Fassler: "The Gare du Nord is a major transit hub that is used by hundreds of thousands of people each day. It connects passengers between Paris and its northern suburbs and much of northern Europe. A complicated, chaotic, and constantly moving place, this station is in many ways emblematic of France more generally. Over a period of months I observed and documented the minutiae of this train station and the patterns and behaviours of those who use it. The resulting six large map-drawing hybrids show a combination of chaos and boredom, surveillance and subversion, and open a conversation about the difficulties of France’s ongoing negotiations between nationalism, identity politics, and race relations."
