The International Colloquium: Cartography, a Critical Tool for Design, brings together internationally renowned speakers in critical cartography from various disciplines to present diverse perspectives and visions of mapping. The event is structured around three interrelated themes: creative mapping, descriptive mapping, and critical mapping. The first segment explores various approaches to mapping through innovative processes and methodologies in critical cartography; the second group analyzes cartography as an intersubjective and interdisciplinary medium in the current Anthropocene era; finally, the third group presents counter-mapping, participatory cartographies, and spatial practices as critical processes aimed at highlighting and emancipating other realities.
