Jennifer Maravillas - Bell

Collected Perspectives: Cartography, Belonging, Place and Identity

Exploring map-making through a social justice lens, Maravillas-Bell says: “Examining and understanding the tools of the powerful is key to creating an equitable world. Just one of the tools of the powerful, cartography, illuminates practices such as redlining and gerrymandering.” Maravillas-Bell has been creating a map of the area around PlatteForum’s Annex Gallery. She has been walking the streets surrounding, collecting debri from the street, and then impressing those found objects into concrete in the shape of each block. The result will be a large concrete map with found objects impressed into each block creating a beautiful mosaic of the inhabitants of this area. PlatteForum’s Artlab interns are creating a range of maps depicting their homes and neighborhoods using a layering technique, an audio map that tells a story of a place important to their identities, and a collective work connecting maps of causes and histories they’ve researched and examined.

She will be working with our ArtLab Interns to create the exhibition Concrete Redundancy, which will examine the effects the pandemic has had on us all, find redundancies, delete the unnecessary, and reimagine a better, more interconnected future. Students will create works with obsolete technology, sound, animation, and zines using techniques that Meyers employs like 8-bit animation, frottage, graphic notations, teletext, etc.
