Mapping_The Invisible Soundtrack

Experimental and digestible. On second thought, perhaps Koyaanisqatsi (film score by Glass) is the more appropriate choice. I would argue that it is a cinematographic map. If you now have an abundant source of free-time and don’t know what to do with it, please watch it at your leisure:

City of Women: what if those streets were named after women?

In complement to Celia’s most recent post, this article explains well how over-representation of men in city street name constitute a privilege for the dominating gender: “I can’t imagine how I might have conceived of myself and my possibili­ties if, in my formative years, I had moved through a city where most things were named after women and many or most of the monuments were of powerful, successful, honored women.”

A short read, very eye opening.
