The “Hands-on Famagusta” project’s counter-mapped ad-hoc technologies include large size printed drawings of the city’s fragmented territory, used to encourage the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot Famagustians to go beyond their split mental maps by firstly becoming aware of a severely fragmented urban environment. The processes of cartographic documentation as well as that of creating and using the material agents have created collectives consisting of members coming from areas across the Cypriot divide.
