As we explore the practices of POC creative place-keeping and radical mapping—frameworks by which people make meaning of their localities—we invited artists from our alumni community to share their own experiences with the process of community asset mapping. We asked:

What opportunities does asset mapping offer to working in-community?
What is the relationship between asset mapping and placekeeping?
What do democratically informed asset mapping practices look like?
