ABOUT

Islandography is a multidisciplinary and multimodal space dedicated to the study, storytelling, and critical engagement with islands and islandness. Rooted in the interdisciplinary field of Island Studies, this project explores how islands are not merely geographic entities, but vibrant spaces of culture, resistance, memory, and imagination.

From remote archipelagos to urban islands, Islandography maps the political, ecological, historical, and aesthetic dimensions of insularity. We draw on the work of leading island studies scholars, while also moving beyond academic boundaries to engage writers, artists, travelers, and everyday islanders.

Islands have long captured the global imagination, often as sites of escape, isolation, or paradise. Islandography seeks to complicate these narratives. Our aim is to reframe islands not as marginal or exotic, but as central to understanding global flows of power, climate change, colonial legacies, and cultural resilience.

Whether you’re a researcher, a reader of maritime histories, a lover of landscapes, or simply curious about the world from a different shoreline, Islandography invites you to think with islands—and not just about them.
