“I think of cartography as a form of writing," said Pearce, in a Library news release. "Approaching it this way helps me make maps about the cultural and political realities of Indigenous peoples' lives.”
Margaret Wickens Pearce is a cartographer creating maps that foreground Indigenous Peoples’ understanding of land and place. Pearce pushes the boundaries of cartography beyond two-dimensional depictions of static and defined spaces. She draws on a wide range of archival materials and long-term collaborations with Indigenous communities to resurface their history, knowledge, and presence throughout North America. She is a 2025 MacArthur Fellow.
This program will take place exclusively in the Community Room.
