Nonstop Metropolis: The Remix

April 10 - January 1, 2017 - The Queens Museum will launch a multi-faceted exhibition in collaboration with renowned writer, historian, and activist, Rebecca Solnit. Solnit is the author of 15 books about environment, landscape, community, art, politics, the power of stories, and hope. The roots of this project are found in her remarkable trilogy of Atlas books which propose creative mapping as a means to relay alternative histories of place, specifically in Infinite City: A San Francisco Atlas and in Unfathomable City: A New Orleans Atlas. In 2016, the third and final book in the series will take New York City as its subject. Titled Nonstop Metropolis Solnit is producing this publication with her collaborator geographer Josh Jelly-Schapiro, and a host of renowned writers, artists, historians, and cartographers.
