Counter-Mapping Relational Waste Legacies in the Duwamish Valley and Watershed
For the first few weeks, students embarked on the research, mapping, and documentation of a waste material within the Duwamish Valley and River Watershed. The projects aimed to reveal the infrastructure that produces the waste material alongside the human and more-than-human conditions that enable or emerge from its production. This required synthesizing dense and complex layers of research to graphically describe the processes of the waste material’s local and regional network. Findings were shared at the end of the project as an opportunity to learn from one another and collectively form a base of information for later projects.
