Our maps tell a different story...

Collective Cartography continues to grow outward from Southern Oregon while remaining grounded in the places we call home. These new maps explore watersheds, mountain ranges, island networks, borderlands, and personal geographies that connect communities across Oregon, California, Hawaii, and the Pacific. Together, they invite us to see place not as a fixed location, but as a web of stories, relationships, memories, and possibilities. Every map begins with a simple question: What becomes visible when we draw our world together?

The assignment had been simple: create a self-portrait. What she made was a map.
— Evan Potter with Bryce Smedley
