Join us for this online event to hear Jin-Kyu Jung's reflections on an interdisciplinary collaboration across urban geography and art, part of our Livingmaps Seminar Series 2024, Countermapping the Future.

The talk is a reflection of an ongoing interdisciplinary collaboration between an urban geographer interested in the qualitative possibilities of GIS and an art scholar specializing in thinking about digital culture and creative practice. It illustrates the emergence and blending of different modes of critical and creative GIS and specific ways to work with various modes/forms of embodied, relational, interpretive, and expressive geographies for re-imagining where and how mapping and GIS are practiced.

Gwilym Eades will join us to continue our Livingmaps Seminar Series 2024, Countermapping the future

This talk is based upon the theoretical framework of Gwilym Eades' recently published monograph Spatialities of Speculative Fiction, touching as that work does, upon several examples to illuminate the idea of responsibilities of duty owed to works in various modes of fictional speculation. Nina Allan, Jo Walton, Susannah Clarke and other authors will be discussed as counter-mapping taken-for-granted generic expectations and thus as fulfilling, through counter-mapping, ‘duties’ in the production of spatialities of utopian desire in critical new ways.

This is a hybrid event. You are welcome to join us either online or in-person at King's College London, Strand Campus. Please ensure you book the correct ticket type.

Opening Livingmaps Seminar Series 2024, Countermapping the future, we welcome Eden Kincaid, co-editor of counter/cartographies.

How can creative counter/cartographic practices disrupt dominant representations of space and unsettle the social and political systems that underwrite them? To explore this question, Eden will share creative works from counter/cartographies, the 2023 issue of you are here: the journal of creative geography and reflect on the process of putting together the issue.
