Introductory welcome talk from Mapping the City exhibition launch

This presentation outlines our previous work, primarily with skateboarders and free runners in Tyneside and how doodled maps revealed their sociable worlds, which are invisible in official maps

The maps contradict the common place view that the likes of skaters, free runners and BMXers are just a nuisance in the city.

Our Juice 2015 work at Walker Technology College and The Royal Grammar School is outlined, in particular the rich variety of work made by students of all ages and the evocative, highly personal power of the resulting maps
