I chose to revisit the Shipping Forecast work and during the first week I iterated on different mapping styles to show the FitzRoy sea area and its surrounding countries’ Exclusive Economic Zones.
In the second week I decided to broaden my focus, both in scale and narrative, and use maps to tell other stories.
Reading Anderson (2006, pp. 174-175) and Forensic Architecture (2025) and realising all borders were disputed at some point, and many still are, I researched and mapped conflicts in the region since the beginning of the Shipping Forecast in 1867.
