Working with exhibition designers Drinkall Dean, Secret Maps at the British Library tells stories from over a 100 objects and artefacts about how information is created, concealed, disseminated and controlled, via mapping. This exhibition offers an essential lens through which to reconsider the lines (and grids!) that shape our world.

​

This exhibition was not just about the maps that reveal or keep secrets, it's about how those secrets shape our shared and private lives. It was a reminder that every map is as much about power, memory, and identity as about topography or direction.

There were some lovely interactive elements too; visitors can peer through secret spy holes, lock in their phone on a screen that tell them exactly how those naughty old tech-lords are are mapping and harvesting our data and best of all find Wally in an original drawing from the children's book-there is even a sneak peak to help you along.
