PROJECT:   Mapping Trees of Cambridge, MA for Jennifer Laponte 




PROJECT:   2019 - 2021 ANNUAL REPORT FOR Northeast Farmers of Color Land Trust



CONCEPT

Palette is based on the 4 elements of earth, air, water, and fire.  


MAP CONCEPT

The Reparations Map created by Soul Fire shows land based reparations and land stewardship by BIPOC folks. My concept for the map was to put the usa on the back of turtle, to honor Turtle Island. Some Indigenous peoples called the usa, Turtle Island, based off overlapping Native American origin stories. Locaton icons are turned upside to represent drops of water. States lines are dotted lines to reflect porousness and combat colonization.  


MOTIFS

Throughout the report you will see themes of circles of people. Circles are non-hierarchal.

POSTER

“We are in this world, but not of this world.”

Removable Poster for the printed report. Based on three tarot cards pulled by a reader reading left to right.
