Charting the World: A Journey Through Old and New Maps @ Cordata Gallery

“Charting the World” is an exhibition that invites visitors on an enchanting journey through the evolution of maps, from traditional cartography to modern digital mapping technologies. This exhibition celebrates the rich history and diverse forms of maps and map-inspired artworks while exploring their enduring significance in shaping our understanding of the world.

At the core of “Charting the World” is a selection of rare, old maps, featuring unique masterpieces that illustrate the history of cartography and the artistic beauty of hand-drawn maps. Map-inspired paintings, drawings, and digitally created maps by local arcaseydawnc@gmail.cotists Chuck Kitterman, Hannah Rivers, and David Syre complete the exhibition, providing an overview of the extensive realm of cartography. Additionally, a collection of rare pocket and foldable maps completes this survey, reminding us of how maps as objects evolved with the advancement of urbanism.
