| 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.
Tonight, ten maps (including a mural) will be featured at Downtown’s Regular Gallery to the tune of live music by Joe Myers.
