Creative works

The Critical Futures Visual Archive is a collection of critical creative geographic works I curated in 2017. You can learn more about the exhibit through my writing: On the methodological potential of creative work in geography, see Experimenting with creative geographic methods in The Critical Futures Visual Archive. On the institutional and disciplinary barriers to incorporating creative works into geography, see: At the limits of critical geography: Creative interventions into the exclusionary spaces of U.S. geography (2019). 

The Critical Futures Visual Archive explores the intersection of geographic knowledge, visual representation, and creative expression as a site for critical thought, knowledge production, and practice in our hallways and beyond.

The archive experiments with alternative modes of geographic thought, experience, and representation, engaging themes of militarization, gentrification, race, place, identity, diaspora, violence, gender, social (in)justice, memory, representation, landscape, borders, and space.

Through various media and methods, contributing artists have posed reflections and launched critiques, crafted experiments and weaved narratives, documented the past and reimagined the future of geographic knowledge and scholarly practice.

We invite you to join us in the task of crafting a critical archive that might yet give shape to our collective futures, to contribute to a generative and engaged scholarly practice committed to questioning convention, upsetting boundaries, and insisting on the transformative potential of intellectual debate and creative expression.
