Call 312.322.1773 Distinguished scholar and author Irit Rogoff explores a wave of recent cartographic activity that makes visible the hidden relations between subjects and places, events and places, memories and places, and time lines and places. Mapping across and against political boundaries, these cartographies of geograhical ambivalence have made possible a set of new relational geographies in which disavowed histories, buried bodies, broken promises and the tangential relations of a desire for a place rather than the lived reality within it, are visualized.
