Description:
Across the Americas and globally, people engage in art and creative practice as a way to represent their realities, communities, stories of their lived experiences, and to assert their political rights. This includes histories of artists and community organizers who have challenged divisionary borders and narratives of a homogenous nation-state, of citizenship, race, gender, and sexuality. Such works hold possibility to challenge grand narratives of space, place, and identity– and to open alternate imaginative paths and ways of knowing. In this panel, we broadly consider the ways that art and creative practice can create alternative maps, by discussing the following: How does artistic practice reflect and shape spatial and geographic imaginaries? How do artists and cultural producers engage in making place and shaping borders? How is the art/artist engaged in spatial relationships? How do bodily presence and movement in space shape perceived boundaries and inscribe it with meaning? How do arts and performance work through affect, and how do those affects play into our geographic imaginations?
