Description: Short Arts, Season 1, Episode 2nWritten an Produced by Tim GregorynThemes: Mapping, Participant Art, Postmodernism, GlobalisationnnDescription: In this video I discuss Map Kibera as a project that gives visibility and agency to the people of Kibera (Kenya’s largest slum). I compare this project with Google’s own map of the area, showing the failure of Google’s claim to have made a “perfect” map. I discuss the process of mapping as not documentary, but rather as producing what it maps.
