Artist-in-Residence Workshop: Learn to Map Your Neighborhood through Collage

Image credit: Stephen Kennedy of LATLONG.SHOP

Dear District 11 Residents,

Join me tonight at the Sequoya Library to meet Artist-in-Residence Stephen Kennedy from LATLONG.SHOP and learn how to design your own map using magazine cutouts! I have one of Stephen’s maps displayed in my office, which beautifully illustrates the "15-minute city" concept in Madison—a vision where people can live within walking distance of everyday amenities.

The 15-minute city will also be the focus of a future District 11 Book Club discussion next year. I hope to see you tonight at Stephen’s event! Space is limited, so please register in advance.

Make a neighborhood map! Join Sequoya Library Artist-in-Residence Stephen Kennedy of LATLONG.SHOP to learn how to construct your own map out of magazine cut outs. He’ll walk through techniques to make a depiction of Madison—your favorite features of the city, your neighborhood, or your daily commute—from your perspective.

Supplies provided, but feel free to bring old magazines if you like their imagery or typography. All ages welcome, but parents are recommended to supervise kids under age 10.

Registration is required and opens two weeks before the program, at 9am on 11/1. Please sign up for either this session or the morning session on Saturday, November 16.

Stephen's show, Atlas of an Isthmus: Creative Cartography of Madison & Beyond, is on display at Sequoya Library September 1-December 31, 2024.
