<p>+921HeritageTalks is a project of Pakistan Chowk Community Center (PCCC), founded and conceptualized by Arch. Marvi Mazhar, where we are going to hold discussions and webinars every six months with panelists to discuss their field experience and research.</p><p>As Nishat Awan talks about in “Mapping Otherwise: Imagining Other Possibilities and Other Futures”, maps have often been used to assert power and control over territory. However, they can also be used to challenge dominant narratives. All maps present a selective view of reality, emphasizing certain information over others, and as such, they should be understood as political documents. It is important to recognize that all maps are partial and subjective, even if they present themselves as objective and authoritative. Similarly the mapping process is not a process merely limited to cataloging street names, house numbers and famous locations. It is a process that defines what is to be seen and noticed and what is overlooked. The data gathered in mapping can be analyzed in a multiplicity of ways. Thus, it is very pertinent that we bring in voices that have been historically overlooked. The voices of women and how they interact with the city is such a voice that needs to be pushed to the forth. This talk is another step in the movement that has started in Pakistan to center women’s relationship with the city.</p>
