Workshop for a school class
Maps are omnipresent. They provide orientation via GPS on your own phone or in geography lessons at school. But does the representation of certain environments on these maps always correspond to the objective conditions? How were maps originally created? Who developed them and for what purpose?
A critical look at maps makes it possible to understand spatial structures and processes, to recognize power relations and to develop counter-designs: own, subjective perspectives on an environment, which in turn can be mapped. Pupils from a Berlin school class are invited to spend a morning at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt learning about the concept of critical mapping and applying it themselves.
