    Abstract

    ![CDATA[Drawing on a theoretical framework from critical cartography and studies in human geography, this paper explores the usage of participatory mapping as a form of hybrid co-production of local contexts to map Lilyfield, an inner-west suburb of Sydney. This approach to visualisation has resonance for the field of information design where unique features of a local context are recorded to capture informal aspects of everyday life, producing new insights as shared knowledge, and in proposing a practice for capturing emotional responses that are deeply situated within the local. Mapped features include the routes of the local mail delivery, the location of significant trees and the traces of early morning dog walkers through the streets to the local park with residents providing anecdotal stories and emotional reactions. This paper describes and evaluates the Lilyfield mapping project as a workin- progress, and reflects on some of the emerging themes and new insights about this local place as shared participatory learning within the context of art, design and critical cartographic practice.]]
