This elective course approaches mapping as a critical, spatial, and creative practice. Moving away cartography as a colonial technique, the course positions mapping as a design method—one capable of revealing invisible systems, challenging dominant spatial narratives, exposoing power relations, and intervening in contested conditions. Drawing inspiration from the Situationists’ psychogeographic experiments, the collective mapping workshops of Iconoclasistas, counter-cartography movements, Indigenous mapping practices, and contemporary spatial justice designers, the course explores how maps can function as tools of critique, storytelling, and transformation. Students will engage mapping as both an analytical framework and a generative design process. Through visual experimentation, diagramming, fieldwork, and collaborative workshops, they will develop alternative cartographies that uncover hidden infrastructures of inequality, displacement, extraction, environmental injustice, and social struggle. The course integrates critical theory with studio-based production, encouraging students to work across analog, digital, performative, and participatory techniques. Emphasis is placed on form, representation, and visual strategy—equipping designers to use mapping not only to describe space, but to reshape how it is understood and imagined.
