Compass Rose marries maps and lived experience. By pairing contemporary oral history with archival cartographic research, Compass Rose exposes intergenerational stories of individuals impacted by racialized urban policies made manifest through the development of public infrastructure in Los Angeles. This city-wide collaboration rooted in community, history, storytelling and cartography deconstructs the map, drawn by and for the powerful, in efforts to redraw geography via the social and cultural webs that connect us to one another.
