How can art and creative mapping enhance research, education, and community engagement? This panel explores mapping practices and creative interventions that help reveal new connections about natural disasters, community aid, storytelling, and cultural practices. We will discuss two projects exploring creative mapping: flood-based community research in Vermont that uses mapping and quilt-based activities to understand disaster response, and new teaching methods that allow students to experiment with collage and hands-on practices in the geospatial curriculum.
This special panel is open to everyone – no conference registration required – and will take place at the Hamel Music Center Recital Hall. To attend all the a2ru events, register for the full conference here.
