Mapmaker wants to show you a beautiful cartography of refuge and liberation. David Garcia (he/they/siya/ia) is a Kapampangan and Tagalog geographer from the Philippines and is at the intersection of shifting oceans, genres, and worlds. David actually makes maps (as in cartography), loves cooking, and is exploring the sonic realm in solidarity with historically-marginalised communities. This mapmaker’s practice - represented by the canoe - bends and expands time, space, and bodies, backwards into the future. Now, this mapmaker is finding their way to anything shady, horny, and silly. 𖦹 Mapmaker has been a resident of Flux for collectives like Tender Buttons and Queer Horizons. They have opened for international acts like Pussy Palace and Sister Zo. They have performed at Two Minds Festival in 2024 and will do it again in 2025.
