For Creative Geographies (Geography, Visual Arts and the Making of Worlds)

Geography’s engagements with the visual arts have undergone a rapid expansion. Drawing on close to a decade of research in this field, Hawkins explores the challenges and potentials of these new terrains of geography-art relations, including the ways in which twentieth century artistic practices expanded previous understandings of the mediums, materialities and sites that constituted the production and consumption of art, and the ways in which this expanded field has seen creative practitioners and theorists embrace geographical discourses and practices.
