Harbouring Fanon

 Harbouring Fanon merges the concept of harbours as both a literal place, a space in which ships are anchored, with the concept of giving harbour or shelter to a particular vision of the world. I draw on two visual tropes, early cartography which track  European Empires initial forays into depicting the harbours of potentially profitable territories and the contemporary mapping of space via Google Maps. These two tropes are separated by time but are conflated onto specific harbours.
