Tamara Kostianovsky...Hair Maps

The artsit utilises a rather interesting material, hair. The maps made of hair are installed on a window pane of a gallery space. She also uses her own clothes to create a world map.

Local Cartographies with artist Maria Kheirkhah

Adults from the Sundial Centre in Hackney worked with artist Maria Kheirkhah on the Local Cartographies project to map significant places and memories of their community.













Using a kilim (a traditional Turkish carpet) as a backdrop to map the area around Sundial Centre, the group collaboratively drew up a map. The kilim was used to reflect the narrative element of the map.
