A cartography grounded on critical theory. The MIT SLAB website describes critical cartography as ‘mapping the unmapped; [noticing] people and things that are overlooked or denied, and usually [debunking] professionalism with an anti-sleek visual vocabulary and techniques’. J. Crampton (2010) writes that ‘critical cartography assumes that maps make reality as much as they represent it’.
