Maps have an extensive legacy in Latin American art and have offered artists productive terrain for confronting colo­nialist systems. Published alongside the exhibition Political/S ubjective Maps: Anna Bella Geiger, Magali Lara, Lea Lublin, and Margarita Paksa, this booklet explores how four visionary conceptual artists from Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina appropriated the visual language of maps to highlight entrenched power structures; mine social, political, emotional, and personal subjects; and imagine new ways of apprehending the world. It includes an essay by art historian and curator Cecilia Fajardo ­Hill that provides illuminating new research of the groundbreaking practices of Anna Bella Geiger, Magali Lara, Lea Lublin, and Margarita Paksa.
