Water plays with our ideas of scale: is a large body of water a single drop? Or the container for trillions? Dovetailing with their feature article in issue 150, Maps (Winter 2021), Cristina Ribas and Paul Schweizer will introduce and then experiment and exchange around a concept and practice they have been calling hydrocartography: a way to map with waters, a methodology informed by the logic of all the planet’s water to think about space, movement, accompaniment, territories, resistance—and forms of co-living with more-than-humans. This workshop challenges normative, terra-centric, (what Ribas and Schweizer call) “arid” cartography by getting it wet, and drawing it into relation with artistic, critical, and other forms of production.
