Julia Risler y Pablo Ares
Iconoclasistas is a collaborative creative group originated in 2006. They develop projects that combine graphic arts, creative workshops and collective research. All of their work is released and shared online and licensed under Creative Commons with the purpose of promoting information availability and stimulating user appropriation and derived uses. In 2008 Pablo and Julia started to experiment with different cartographic tools in collective workspaces. That was the beginning of the Collective Mapping workshops. During these workshops attendants would carry out collaborative research while promoting critical thought by using graphic devices and an arsenal of ludic tools. The common space worked as a story that motivated practices of transformation. In 2013 they released Manual de mapeo colectivo. Recursos cartográficos críticos para procesos territoriales de creación colaborativa (“Collective Mapping Handbook. Critical Cartographic Resources For Territorial Processes of Collaborative Creation”) where they schematize and share methodologies, resources and dynamics for workshops’ organization. They are currently working on a sequel to this handbook. As a group undergoing continuous transformation and re-articulations, Iconoclasistas operates as a dynamic network of affinity and solidarity spread throughout the world.
