Welcome to the Reverberations Counter-Atlas!
As an experimental, open-ended cartographic project, it brings into conversation wildly eclectic transoceanic “things” that flow, resist, circulate, and sojourn – allegorically as reverberations – across and beyond Indian Ocean worlds, bridging the historic and the contemporary.
Among other things, its digital canvas is intended as a pedagogical tool for and beyond the blue humanities. It offers contemplative space for the reimagination of various kinds of counter-dominant mappings (and their concomitant mobility-inspired concepts), through multimodal forms of transoceanic storytelling.
As a collaborative endeavour, the counter-atlas invites contributions from across diverse spaces of artistic co-creation, public scholarship, pedagogical experimentation, activism, policy, and more.
We invite iterative explorations and heterogenous transdisciplinary exchange that spark provocations of what a “reverberative mapping” might look like in all its fluidity and diversity, while recentring anti- and decolonial, feminist posthumanist, postdevelopment and other intersectional currents of/in seeing and being in its wake.
