Mapping Back
The goal of the MappingBack Network is to provide mapping capacity and support to members of Indigenous communities fighting extractive industries. Mapping has long been used as a tool for colonial dispossession; MappingBack seeks to reverse this by using mapping as a tool to fight back. Our understanding of extractivism is extensive, and ranges from forms of natural resource extraction to the systemic extraction of living entities, such as human beings, animals and plants, from Indigenous territories. Our understanding of mapping capacity and support is also broad and is directly dependent on the skills of the members of this ever-expanding network. At the moment, these skills include Indigenous ways of mapping, geospatial technologies (e.g. Geographic Information Systems, satellite images analysis), web design, participatory mapping experience and the organization of alternative mapping workshops.

GeoComunes creates (maps) of conflicts caused by the degradation, privatization and dispossession of common goods as well as the “infrastructure” projects that are built in order to keep capital accumulating. GeoComunes makes visible the strategies of capitalist appropriation of the territory and serves as a technical tool for the organized defense of the common goods that are affected.
