Dear all,
I like SubmaP also...
Should we get http://submap.br
and--
SubmaP is a collaborative project that aims to map Sao Paulo using a cartography
that puts class and gender on the map. It's not just a map to get you from A to
B-- it's a map that can be reconfigured by its users. We draw different lines,
a
subjective map of this metropolis: a map of unheard histories, of unknown
places, a map of our own, your grandmother´s map, the worker´s map, a common
people´s map, a people´s map. Another cartography, a different history, a map
that is shaped by its users.
"The starting point of critical elaboration is the consciousness of what one
really is and "knowing thyself" is a product of the historical process to
date which has deposited in you an infinity of traces, without leaving an
inventory. Such an inventory must therefore be made at the outset."
A. Gramsci
