Mapping as a communicative Art

Panel Discussion:
Maps as a Communicative Art

What are the unique ways in which a map communicates to people?

The discussion will focus on how maps communicate to various audiences. We’ll learn about the similarities and differences of how each panelist approaches map design to tell a story and present a point of view.

Before and after the panel, guests are invited to view the exhibitions until 8:00 p.m.
