I had the attached about a mapping exhibition forwarded to me. I’m interested, and planning to go and see it, and thought I’d share.

If you're in Manchester over the next 6 months I hope you're be able to attend. We welcome comments and feedback. cheers Martin Dodge Mapping Manchester: Cartographic Stories of the City ---------------------------------------------------- A free public exhibition curated by Chris Perkins and Martin Dodge. The John Rylands Library, Deansgate, Manchester. 25th June 2009 - 17th January 2010. This exhibition reveals some of the ways in which mapping is ingrained into urban life. It demonstrates how maps work and change over time in response to technology, society and economic imperatives, highlighting visually striking cartographic representations of Manchester. Mapping Manchester showcases the wealth of cartographic treasures held by the University of Manchester and other institutions in the city - including generous loans of material from the Manchester City Library and Archives and Chetham's Library. These maps are more than just 'pretty pictures' - they are powerful tools, instrumental in the making of the contemporary Manchester, and can be read as rich stories of urban life.
