clarissa tossin



Unmapping the World challenges the modern map as a fixed organizing principle. Tossin drew Earth’s continents on balled-up sheets of tracing paper, re-flattening them to reveal a fragmented world map. This decolonial act of “unmapping” constructs a global perspective favoring multiple histories, perspectives, and forms of knowledge
