Window on Collections: Maps

A blueprint of history! A map gives you a glimpse into how people understood and interpreted their world at the time of creation; with personal experiences at the heart of the work, no map will look the same. The Library collects a broad range of maps primarily focusing on Victoria. However, Australian and international maps also form a significant part of the collection in reflecting our place within the broader national and global context. Led by Sarah Ryan – Senior Librarian Victorian and Australian Collections – join us for an evening of presentations by three local creators of modern maps to learn more about the craft and their interpretation of the world. A sample of works by the creators will be displayed after the presentations. Presenters Melinda Clarke is the founder of City Maps Illustrated Pty Ltd and has published illustrated maps of Melbourne and the Bellarine Peninsula. Adam Mattinson is a cartographer who produces Tolkien-style maps of the Yarra Ranges. Miles Howard-Wilks is an artist whose recent works use the metropolitan train lines to map a guide to the best snacks in Melbourne. His presentation will be through a pre-recorded video presented by Arts Project Australia. Luciano is the co-creator of Queer-ways, a community arts initiative to map the queer cartography of Australia.
