Displacement operates through processes of both spatial exclusion and narrative erasure. By empowering and privileging the perspectives of those who most often have had their narratives ignored, invalidated, or erased, the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project's (AEMP) data analysis, data visualization, and storytelling work fights for spatial justice by combating displacement at both levels. Savannah Kilner and Mary Shi will discuss AEMP's work, methods, and current projects with particular focus on AEMP's forthcoming atlas of the Bay Area, Counterpoints. All of AEMP's work is available for free at antievictionmap.com.
