Chemical Atlas
Chemical Atlas is an interdisciplinary multimedia platform that begins to map (or explore ways of mapping) the sprawling, complex, and ongoing reverberations of chemical pollution. This is not a comprehensive atlaspollutants operate across too many spatio-temporal scales. Instead, this project focuses on cross-disciplinary collaboration, methodological resources, and storytelling to better understand and communicate uneven chemical relations.

Project Goals
- Create an interactive, online platform that maps chemical pollution
- Integrate insights from:
- Ethnography
- Natural sciences
- Visual arts
- Citizen science
- etc.
- Go beyond 'conventional' cartography to include:
- Air quality and extraction maps
- Ethnographic narratives
- Audio-visual documentation
- and more!
Why It Matters
Mapping pollution is more than plotting data on a map. It's about making sense of harm across spatiotemporal scales through multiple ways of knowingscientific, social, legal, and artistic. This project invites contributors from all fields to co-create a richer, more-than-human view of environmental degradation and modes of resistance.
Community of Practice
The project is in its early stages. We held a workshop on June 6, 2025, at UCL with researchers and journalists to gather ideas from our community of practice. Based on this input, we are currently creating a proof of concept. As the project gains momentum, we welcome expressions of interest from any discipline:
- Filmmaker or artist
- Natural scientist
- Social scientist
- Community organizer or citizen scientist
- Other interested party
