A story map is a form of geospatial storytelling that demonstrates how cartography can be used in creating narratives of place. It can be used as an analytical tool for understanding how people move and live in spaces based on stories that people tell about their lives. Story maps have generated other fields of inquiry such as literary cartography, geomedia and cinematic cartography.

This exhibit presents a selection of maps that provides an alternate view of community spaces within UP Campus. These maps involve the distribution of human and animal spaces, as well as the location of spaces that evoke emotions or sensations for those who visit or pass by these spaces. A group of researchers conducted field survey and ethnographic reconnaissance using the Global Positioning System (GPS) to visually map stories about the dynamic and ever changing spaces in UP Diliman. The data used for the story maps are based on field surveys undertaken between December 2018-January 2019 as well as class outputs from the Geography 192 (Field Methods in Geography) class of 2016.* During the exhibit run of Lupang Hinirang in Bulwagan ng Dangal Museum in February-April 2019, an interactive corner afforded the audience to contribute additional data to the story maps, which are now included in the interactive platform.

*The inclusion of this data was done only after obtaining permission from the students in the class.
