Kit Marie and James Riding sip a Pink Lane Coffee Americano and chat about exploring perceptions through art in a post-conflict context; examples of 'counter-maps'; imaginary towns;, amongst other things!

James is Newcastle University Academic Track Fellow - a cultural geographer who uses creative methods. He works mainly in Bosnia & Herzegovina, and has been making a new atlas of the country with a local peace-building organisation.
