Everyone deserves the tools to map out the landscapes of their desires.
What is Intimate Cartographies?
Intimate Cartographies houses the writing, artwork, and workshops of me, A. Grand Mark, a white, disabled, queer advocate, educator, artist, writer, and comic nerd based down in Texas.
My work is about self-discovery, self-knowledge, and connecting with others by connecting with ourselves.
Our body-minds are landscapes, both physical and psychic, and so many of the lessons we're taught culturally trick us into believing our desires and needs are a wilderness to be feared or controlled.
But our landscapes are not a wild unknown, they are a blooming forgotten, waiting for us to reconnect.
I cannot draw you the map to find yourself, but I can share the skills I've learned to discover those hollows and plains, the little grottos in your heart.
We all deserve to know our cartographies, and I hope my work helps bring you closer to yours, bit by bit.
