An Atlas of Radical Cartography by the Journal of Aesthetics and Protest Press. Edited by Lex Bhagat and Lize Mogel.

The Journal of Aesthetics and Protest, a self-proclaimed "weirdo thinktank" are now presenting books and projects created by other individuals and collectives. This item is one of these projects. An Atlas of Radical Cartography pairs artists, architects, designers, and collectives with writers in order to explore the map’s role as political agent. These (10) ten mapping projects and critical essays take on social and political issues from globalization to garbage. A list of the mappings include:

An Architektur / Sebastian Cobarrubias, Maribel Casas-Cortes on migration in Europe.

Center for Urban Pedagogy / Heather Rogers on garbage flows in New York City.

Ashley Hunt / Avery Gordon on the global prison-industrial complex.

Institute for Applied Autonomy / Tad Hirsch on surveillance and “tactical cartography”.

Pedro Lasch / Alejandro DaCosta on migration in the Americas.

Lize Mogel / Sarah Lewison on geography, gentrification, and globalization.

Trevor Paglen & John Emerson / Naeem Mohaiemen on extraordinary rendition.

Brooke Singer / Kolya Abramsky on the contradictions of cheap energy in the US.

Jane Tsong / Jenny Price, D.J. Waldie, et al, on human impacts on LA’s water ecology.

Unayyan / Jai Sen on mapping the unintended city in 1980s Calcutta

The Atlas is made up of a paperback book, ten individual maps that measure just under 17 x just under 22". The maps collect into a slipcover that then, along with the book, collects into the pink and green slipcover seen above. Some maps are color, some black and white. Some designed on a computer, some drawn by hand. The book contains the 10 essays that each partner with a map. A bit more about this project can be found at http://an-atlas.com/
