Counter-mapping workshops in the Philippines respond to authoritarianism and land rights abuses
On June 1, 2024, Cian Dayrit published an article in ARTMargins Online titled 'Militant Mappings: A Template Toolkit.' The article discusses the rise of counter-mapping workshops in the Philippines, which emerged as a reaction to the authoritarian rule of Rodrigo Duterte and the violent suppression of peasant-led protests. Conducted in rural communities and protest camps, these workshops focus on collecting and visualizing the shared experiences and aspirations of marginalized groups, such as workers, indigenous peoples, and peasants. They aim to highlight issues like land grabbing, rights violations, and the aggressive development policies of centralized authorities. This piece can be found in Volume 13, Issue 2, pages 78-94, with a DOI of 10.1162/artm_a_00387, and is accessible through MIT Press at https://artmargins.com/militant-mappings-a-template-toolkit.
