Interactive map of the Greek Genocide in the Ottoman Empire and Turkey

Thesis

Historical violence can be read spatially: routes, regions, events, and memory sites form an evidentiary geography.

Example from the work

The work uses mapping as a way to organize massacres, displacement, historical geography, and documentary memory into a navigable structure.

Method

Digital cartography, historical interpretation, spatial ordering, and visual presentation of complex historical processes.

Output

A map-based research artifact where historical evidence becomes readable through geography rather than only linear prose.

Visible-source reconstruction

What can be shown precisely from the public material.
