City of Women London Tube Wall Map (A2, 16.5 x 23.4 Inches)
Haymarket Books (Verlag)
978-1-64259-457-7 (ISBN)
Londoners Reni Eddo-Lodge and Emma Watson are collaborating with author Rebecca Solnit and geographer Joshua Jelly-Schapiro to reimagine London's classic tube map. The new public history project 'City of London Women' will redraw Transport for London's classic underground map by naming each stop after a woman, non-binary person or a group.
By consulting with artists, historians, community organizers and others through an open call, the project aims to identify remarkable female or non-binary Londoners who have had an impact on the city's history in some way. It will allocate them to each of the stations depicted on the London tube map according to their connections to a local area. Some of these people might be household names, others might be unsung heroes or figures from London's hidden histories. The names might be drawn from arts, civil society, business, politics, sport and so on.
Attractively produced and packaged as a large poster map, this will be an ideal gift item that will find a place in museums and art stores as well as bookshops across London and beyond.
