Cartographies of the Imagination is a month-long
experimental drawing festival held in the RIBA award-winning
Omved Gardens and Glasshouse in Highgate. The otherworldly
setting forms the inspiration for a series of conversations,
workshops, feasts and a growing exhibition exploring the world
of drawing between the real and the imagined.
‘To map a place is to create a whole new one. Through the
act of plotting, tracing and redrawing, new relationships are made
that both belong to - and are entirely distinct from - the terrains they
started out describing. Cartographies of the Imagination explores the
outer limits of what a map can be, interrogating the bit of lost land
that falls between the pages of an atlas, journeying to places known,
unknown, forgotten and fictional.’
