- is there a connection between the unique landscape of our bodies and the physical spaces we inhabit? How did lockdown re-frame how we exist in these landscapes? ]]> 2022-09-06 08:03:18 UTC https://padlet.com/aalblas2/bq0zrrjdz3hoqd42/wish/2284247396 https://padlet.com/aalblas2/bq0zrrjdz3hoqd42/wish/2284247471 https://www.indigenousmaps.com/indigenous-mapping-collective/]]> 2022-09-06 08:03:23 UTC https://padlet.com/aalblas2/bq0zrrjdz3hoqd42/wish/2284247471 https://padlet.com/aalblas2/bq0zrrjdz3hoqd42/wish/2284248120 In Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland), the Inuit people are known for carving portable maps out of driftwood to be used while navigating coastal waters. These pieces, which are small enough to be carried in a mitten, represent coastlines in a continuous line, up one side of the wood and down the other. The maps are compact, buoyant, and can be read in the dark.

These three wooden maps show the journey from Sermiligaaq to Kangertittivatsiaq, on Greenland’s East Coast.

  • relocation from the states, tenuousness of sense of home, friends and immediate family all overseas
  • what makes Croydon a suburb of Melbourne specifically and distinguishes it from other suburbs of other cities? what physical and intimate details (preferably within 5km of home) are Croydon-specific?
  • formal constraints? e.g. elegy, free verse, etc.

-leaving Australia amidst its worse bushfire, to England 
-Returning for two weeks of university 
-Only to be locked away, in Geelong, due to Covid – connection severed to university and Melbourne both.  
-Stunted education, stunted freedoms granted and then sharply removed. A collective tragedy and a personal.  
-Romanticization of Melbourne, a growing hatred for Geelong.  
(form of poetry and prose. a mix of both)
