AAG Annual Meeting 2019
As the AAG celebrates the 10th year of its Diversity Ambassadors program, we invite the chairs of a number of the AAG's specialty and affinity groups to share their experiences as leaders in promoting and celebrating diversity within the AAG and throughout the discipline of geography. This panel features chairs of several diversity-related specialty and affinity groups, who will reflect on how the composition of the AAG's membership has changed over time, and discuss how their work has addressed the challenges associated with increasing diversity in geography. A discussion between the panelists and audience members will follow as time allows. Part of a two day track of sessions in celebration of 10 years of the AAG's Diversity Ambassadors.
Co-Organizers: Mark Revell, Coline Dony
AAG Annual Meeting 2019
The A:shiwi Map Art Project is “an art, language and place name project all in one. A:shiwi Map Art is a collective, revisionist effort to elaborate Zuni history and cultural survival independent from the non-Zuni narrative, using Zuni language and Zuni aesthetics and sensibilities. These maps help us understand where we came from and why Zuni culture is associated with places far away from our reservation. They also harness the capacity of visual art to communicate in accessible fashion the importance of Zuni cultural landscape in perpetuation of community vitality and values. Finally, as tools that help set the record straight, these maps serve as a means to mutual understanding by asserting that we live in a world with diverse ways of knowing (http://ashiwi-museum.org/collaborations/ashiwi-map-art/).”
The AAG’s Indigenous Peoples Specialty Group (IPSG) has long been extremely active in researching and promoting the importance of indigenous mapping and indigenous knowledge systems to geography. This project is one example of how the world can be mapped and represented through cultural and knowledge systems other than that of ‘mainstream’ geography. The A:shiwi Map Art project is a community-based mapping project designed and implemented by the Zuni people, for the Zuni people in order to communicate their own heritage, history and worldview independent from outside influences.
