TONIGHT! 9/15 FROM HERE TO THERE event at the New York Public Library · Sep 15, 08:54 AM
In March 2008 graphic designer Kris Harzinski founded the Hand Drawn Map Association. Fascinated by these accidental records of a moment in time, Harzinski soon amassed a wide variety of maps, ranging from simple directional maps, to maps of unusual or fictional places, including examples drawn by well-known historical figures such as Abraham Lincoln, Ernest Shackleton, and Alexander Calder.
On Wednesday, September 15th at 6:00 PM, Kris Harzinski along with the book contributors Will Haguhery and Matthew Rodriguez present a selection of these artifacts that tell stories of people around the world.
