| Details from maps by Monica Aissa Martinez (top left) and Angela Cazel-Jahn (top right), and the inspiration for Thomas “Breeze” Marcus’ mural on Regular Gallery. |
A few months ago, we realized we had been drawing field guides and maps to Phoenix events for more than a year. And because we were (and still are) not-so-secretly map-obsessed, we wanted to see what the city looked like through the eyes and hands of other local creatives.
We asked 10 artists — Melinda Bergman, Safwat Saleem, Sue Chenoweth, Thomas “Breeze” Marcus, Sarah Hurwitz, Marshall Shore, Angela Cazel-Jahn, Luster Kaboom, Monica Aissa Martinez, and Carrie Marill — if they’d be game to create their own guides to the city. No medium or size was required; no scale or compass had to be used.
When news happens, Phoenix New Times is there —
Your support strengthens our coverage.
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If New Times matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
Tonight, ten maps (including a mural) will be featured at Downtown’s Regular Gallery to the tune of live music by Joe Myers.
