“Torn Apart is part of our Mobilized Humanities interventions. MH brings together digital tools to equip broad social awareness and help in global critical situations. We mobilize humanities faculties, libraries, and students with relevant language, archival, technical, and social expertise to nimbly produce curated and applied knowledge. MH sits away from state and non-governmental organizations and is scholarly activism in a global context.” The project currently has two volumes, each of which present multiple visualizations of data related to the current immigration crises in the United States.

Queering the Map

Each point on the map represents a location of queer experience.

“Queering the Map is a community-generated mapping project that geo-locates queer moments, memories and histories in relation to physical space. As queer life becomes increasingly less centered around specific neighborhoods and the buildings within them, notions of ‘queer spaces’ become more abstract and less tied to concrete geographical locations. The intent of the Queering the Map project is to collectively document the spaces that hold queer memory, from park benches to parking garages, to mark moments of queerness wherever they occur.” The project was developed by Lucas LaRochelle, a design student at Concordia University in Montreal.

After the Belfast Group stopped meeting in 1972, many participants downplayed its importance to the development of their writing. Regardless of its ultimate impact, the writing workshop nevertheless connected many authors in Northern Ireland. The pages linked above visualize these networks of relationships, as well as the writers’ connections to specific places.
