Reimaging Rural Cartographies features written and photo essays that create or examine nontraditional and living maps of the Midwest. How does the path a cougar took to roam into the heart of Chicago help us understand how urban, suburban and rural landscapes are changing? What really happens in the forest at the center of a recent Landback movement? How does the USPS serve as a rural lifeline, connecting neighbors and faraway places, despite service cuts? The series is guest-edited by Lydia Moran and funded by Arts Midwest’s Creative Media Cohort program.
