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.
Following the warm reception of the first "The Value of Design" forum last year, the IBERO Design Department is once again presenting its second edition on October 26 and 27, 2022. Design is a discipline that significantly contributes to creating healthier, safer, and happier environments for people through products, services, and experiences that foster social well-being.
