In NANO - New American Notes Online, Issue 6:  Narrative and Cartographies

Article exploring the relationships between narrative and cartography developed through the @matthewalking mapping project.

Issue 6 is a dynamic global collaboration.  The project emerged from a 2012 interdisciplinary workshop on cartography and narrative held in Zurich, Switzerland.  This workshop produced two sister publications exploring topics which emerged during three days of collaboration and experimentation.  Issue 6 in NANO was guest edited by Matthew Bissen (of working surface) and Laurene Vaughan, with Volume 51, Issue 2 in The Cartographic Journal guest edited by Sebastien Caquard and William Cartwright.

workingsurface is proud to have worked with Laurene Vaughan, Sean Scanlan,  Sebastien Caquard, and William Cartwright to bring the work of so many great authors from around the world forward to engage in the creative space between cartography and narrative.
