“I don’t call myself a ‘Cartographer’ but rather a (Geo)grapher that uses the political act of mapping to communicate my ideas… maps are a political art that invocate the invisible relationships as visible…I still draw my maps by hand as humans have done for centuries” – Philippe Rekacewicz 

The Map is the Territory.
