"Art has taken a distinct ‘cartographic turn’ in the last century,” writes Catherine D’Ignazio in her essay ‘Art and Cartography’. “Artists have made maps, subverted maps, performed itineraries, imagined territories, contested borders, charted the invisible, and hacked physical, virtual and hybrid spaces.” This tradition of “artistic appropriation of cartographic strategies” may have informed the thinking behind the ‘Transmission, Imagined Territories’ focus at Lisbon’s DocLisboa, an intriguingly wide-reaching curated programme included in the festival’s most experimental section ‘New Visions’, comprising films with artistic map-making at their centre."
