Cultural Heritage, Conflicts, and the Map

GeoBLR is back! We've been away for the last several months but hope to get the conversation back on the map!

https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/f/c/2/600_462953186.jpegThis edition will feature Francesca Recchia (https://kiccovich.net/) - great friend and one of our previous speakers (https://www.meetup.com/GeoBLR/events/220916808/) to explore the complicated relationship between cultural heritage and the map during times of conflict around the world. As Francesca describes:

For the past 15 years I have been working in the promotion and revitalisation of cultural heritage and practices in countries in conflict. Mapping can be an important device to support locating archeological remains as well as living traditions.

The talk explores the challenges and opportunities of mapping in this context. It further addresses the issue of the value of (cultural) objects on the map. As there are many questions and no definitive answer, I hope that the presentation will turn into an engaging collective discussion.
