Interpretive Wanderings

Examining the criteria by which events-based modes of spatial practice are discussed, this paper critically reflects on a mapping workshop that took place in September 2015 at Culpra Station; an 8,500 hectare property situated in rural NSW. Titled 'Interpretive Wonderings', the project sought to build upon a body of critical cartographic work that approaches mapping as 'performative, participatory and political'. Thirty indigenous and non-Indigenous participants were invited to the station property to produce interpretive mappings through which to explore multivalent understandings of country.
