COMMUNITY POTLUCK
SATURDAY, JUNE 30, 5:30-8:30 PM
Community is central to the Collective Cartography process.
Let's come together for an evening of conversation, observation and research! Jason Brown will be sharing from his experience leading Collective Cartography mapping sessions around Evanston. Participants will be led through observation and collective, qualitative research around a collection of large-scale, hand-drawn maps of our city and some of our neighborhoods.
Bring a dish to share, bring a friend and meet a new neighbor.

COLLECTIVE RESEARCH SESSION
SUNDAY, JUL.1, 3-5 PM
Observation will be happening throughout the weeks, but this is a time for us to do some closer reading of the maps together, and have a conversation about our findings.
This is a great opportunity for those who have taken the Collective Cartography workshop to compare notes and experiences. Also nice for newbies - fresh eyes and experiences welcome.
