︎(unfinished) Cartographies
The mind is like a map that constantly changes. (unfinished) Cartographies invites you to re-think the place where you live and explore the memories attached to it. How does your Portsmouth look like?
Through the eyes of young people from refugee and sanctuary seeking backgrounds, this map represents a Portsmouth that is new to them: a new home with newfound places ‘to be’. Each experience is a new trace in the paper. Each memory, a new pin in the map.
Join the Game: You can ︎download a blank canvas of this map and create your own (unfinished) cartography. First read the text. Take a few minutes to reminisce. Then write, draw, or scribble on your map everything that has made the place where you live special and unique.
