Mind the Map

MIND THE MAP was a collaborative exhibition that transforms old Ordnance Survey maps into living artworks.

Curated by Marc Craig, the project brought together over a hundred map-based collaborations with artists from across the UK and beyond.

The exhibition took place in 2025 at The Sidings, Waterloo Station, alongside a parallel online gallery.

MIND THE MAP is both an archive and an experiment — a collective cartography of what happens when boundaries are tested, erased, and redrawn through art.MIND THE MAP is a collaborative exhibition that transforms old Ordnance Survey maps into living artworks — reimagining landscapes not as fixed territories but as emotional, psychological, and mythic terrains.
