The opening of “An Atlas of Radical Cartography,” a new gallery show curated by Lize Mogel and former Capital Region resident Alexis Bhagat, took place from 6-8 PM on Saturday, April 26, 2008 in the Underground Gallery at The Sanctuary for Independent Media (3361 6th Avenue in north Troy) and runs through June 14, 2008. The exhibit will be open to the public an hour before, during and an hour after events at The Sanctuary for Independent Media.
"An Atlas of Radical Cartography" is a traveling gallery show based on a collection of 10 maps and 10 essays about social issues from globalization to garbage; surveillance to extraordinary rendition; statelessness to visibility; deportation to migration. These new perceptions of the world are the prerequisites to social change. The exhibition, which has been staged at galleries from coast-to-coast, is complemented by a boxed set of essays and reproductions of each map in the show.
