From Atlas to Hermes: A New Cartography of Borders and Migration

By Henk van Houtum. Contributions by Rodrigo Bueno Lacy, Tofe Al-Obaidi, Catalogtree, Yishay Garbasz, Susanne Khalil Yusef, Nicolas Lambert, Sarah Mekdjian, Ruben Pater, Philippe Rekacewicz, Malkit Shoshan, Jonas Staal, Irene Straccuzi, Annelys de Vet, Jasmijn Visser, Denis Wood.

New cartographic means of visualizing people and society, beyond the traditional borders of the nation-state

A map is a visual story of the world. It feeds our imagination and shapes our view of the world. A standard atlas, however, predominantly tells only one story: that of the nation-state. It depicts a world in which people are uniformly packed into national containers, enclosed by borders, and in which migration is often represented as threatening invasion arrows. Free the Map goes beyond this narrow, state-centric cartography. The book argues for a new cartographic story along the lines of Hermes, the grandson of Atlas and the god of mobility and human connections. To this end, it discusses several visually compelling, alternative cartographic representations of borders and migration. Free the Map ends with a call to action; artists and cartographers offer exciting ready-to-use challenges for educational and public resources.

Join Artbook during Printed Matter's NY Art Book Fair, April 25–28, 2024 in booth B29. We are also proud to partner with DelMonico Books in managing their events in booth B6. Scroll down for information about signings.

Artbook is presenting an international selection of books by scientists, activists, and theorists on the Climate Crisis, who examine what recourse we have, alongside both old and new occult titles. Mixed in you’ll find books by botanists, gardeners and theorists who explore our concepts of the natural and the human and address ways of caring for and repairing our environment. Together these writers encourage us to learn from models that are in harmony with nature.

As we humans came to learn about nature and, through that knowledge, became able to survive, we also developed a longing to understand the context of being. Magic, religion, science sprang forth as ways to to comprehend various models of cause and effect. But as we indulged our desire to gain control of the environment, did we become spiritually selfish? Science brought us to the present, where we now face climate crisis.

We humans have handed our destiny to a false deity that projects progress and comfort for some of us, with those comforts constantly reinforced with new needs. But we know that our comfort comes at a cost borne by other humans and nature. Our desire for comfort kills as certainly as drone hovering just out of sight, unseen in distant lands. The people of those lands are now at our gates begging for comforts not had. The deity of ease casts spells upon us—like the mantra of recycling as an apologia for our gullibility. Knowledge is a power. Inaction is doom. Optimism is a choice.
