August 2025 Counter-Mapping Challenge
Counter-cartography aims to shake up the normative way of mapping and representing our world. For the August challenge, we want to encourage anyone living, working, or simply spending time in port areas to think about how they use and/or see this space.
How do you move through the port city territory? Is it easy? Prohibited? Is it a space you want to explore? Or rather avoid? How would you recreate it if you could? What perspective do you choose? Analytical? Historical? Vacation time curiosity?
Find below the counter-map contributions by port city territory frequenters from all over the world!
