The Mappingback.org gallery is a source of information on a variety of topics. It is where you can find projects funded by the collective in addition to featured projects related to Indigenous mapping, extraction, and alternative forms of cartographic expression. Finally, the gallery also features information about our workshops and their facilitation.
