We are excited to be part of the symposium and workshop: Ukrainian Cartographies!
This workshop aims to explore how and why Ukraine has been mapped in the past and present, and to understand (counter-)cartography’s role in shaping Ukraine’s future. By interrogating and challenging conventional cartographic methods, we ask: How is Ukraine’s territory known, and by whom? How do cartographers, archeologists, political scientists, and wider publics map Ukraine? How might alternative approaches challenge dominant understandings of where and what Ukraine is? And how are cartographic practices used to document war crimes and support Ukraine’s defence?
This workshop will involve a ‘subjective mapping’ session with Subjective Editions, and Oleksiy Radynski will join us online for a screening and discussion of his film, Where Russia Ends (2024).
Participants include: Speakers: Steven Seegel, Kataryna Wolczuk, Marnie Howlett, Diana Yehorova, Maksym Rokmaniko, and Annelys de Vet.
