—
The Subjective Editions series brings together eight Atlases from different parts of the world, each rooted in specific communities, collective and personal perspectives, and lived experiences. While grounded in their own contexts, together they create a layered and polyphonic mapping of visual narratives, revealing the many ways people relate to, remember, and imagine the places they inhabit and call home.
—
Each book has been initiated by a different organisation, emerging from a distinct context and driven by its own concerns and objectives. Yet all of them challenge dominant representations and simplified imaginaries imposed by outsiders by mapping places from the inside out.

As a continually expanding archive of knowledge and creative practice, the complementary collection serves as an example of how inspiration, dialogue, and initiatives can be activated, opening up new possibilities for exchange, collaboration, and action. A series that cannot be missed in creative libraries.

The Subjective Atlas of Groningen brings together a diverse group of Groningers mapping the province and what it means to be “at home,” in order to share and make visible the personal, but often invisible, experiences of various resident groups in Groningen.

Created through participatory workshops and public activities—including exhibitions, events, and participatory sessions across the province—the project invites local communities to share their stories, becoming visible both physically and online. In seven workshops organized by the partner organizations, approximately 80 participants explored their vision of “being at home” in Groningen. Through creative sessions, they reflected on personal themes and developed visual contributions, fostering interaction and providing space for diverse perspectives and stories.

The Subjective Atlas of Bosnia and Herzegovina brings together over eighty personal mappings from people living in a country long defined by outsiders—reduced to entities, ethnic categories, and wartime narratives. This atlas counters such simplifications with a polyphonic cartography: visual stories that show how people inhabit, remember, and imagine this place today.

Created through participatory workshops across Bosnia and Herzegovina, the contributions use drawing, collage, and photography to create alternative mappings of a conflict affected state. Rather than offering a fixed or objective account, these situated mappings aim to feel the country—through the materialities of war-damaged buildings, the taste of homemade juices, and the joy of small acts of kindness.

In a landscape where trauma lingers and political inertia persists, this publication opens space for critical imagination. It invites us to see Bosnia and Herzegovina not as divided, but as a layered place of entangled histories and resilient futures—mapped from within.

Sublime landscapes, tranquil urban scenes, frolicking children; who would associate these images with Palestine? All too often the Western media show the country’s gloomy side, and Palestinians as aggressors. It is this that makes identifying with them virtually impossible. If we are to relate to the Palestinians other images are needed, images seen from a cultural and more human vantage point.

Palestinian artists, photographers and designers have mapped their country as they see it. Given their closeness to the subject, this has resulted in unconventional, very human impressions of the landscape and the architecture, the cuisine, the music and the poetry of thought and expression. The drawings, maps and photographs reveal individual life experiences. The contributions give an entirely different angle on a nation in occupied territory. In this subjective atlas it is the Palestinians themselves who show the disarming reverse side of the black-and-white image generally resorted to by the media.
