Mapping it Out

The BLK IRL Podcast

As rapper Andre 3000 from the Atlanta-based duo Outkast proclaimed to the world during the 1995 Source Awards: “The South got something to say!” For Season 2 of the BLK IRL Podcast, Anuli travels to Atlanta, GA to learn more about the local tensions between "Old Atlanta'' and "New Atlanta'' that began to take root in the 1990s as the city prepared its bid to host the 1996 Olympic Games and how Atlanta has since evolved to become one of America’s cultural capitals.

In this episode, Anuli shares the story behind the illustrated map of Atlanta, Georgia she created in collaboration with Georgia-based illustrator, Beaux Xavier for Season 2. An interactive version of the map is available on the BLK IRL® website at www.blkirl.com/season-2. Prints of the map are also available to purchase!
