An interesting project, pointed out to me by Mónica Carriço of movingcities, is Guangzhou Supports You! It relates, in certain ways, to the subjective mapping assigment that we began this term with:
“Guangzhou Supports You!” works like this: the organizers supply a “Guangzhou Supports You!” graphic (see below) that serves as the essential element of the entire activity. Participants simply need to choose a corner, alley, place, space, etc. in Guangzhou, take a photo with the graphic appearing somewhere in the photo, and then upload the photo to the official “Guangzhou Supports You!” website to share their affection for Guangzhou with everyone – that’s it.
