Ankündigung Vortrag und Workshop "Widerständige Geographien" von Abdullah Bayyari and Hanna Al-Taher

Wir laden Sie herzlich zum Online Vortrag und Workshop von Abdullah Bayyari and Hanna Al-Taher zum Thema „Widerständige Geographien“ ein. Der Vortrag findet am 9. Mai 2023 um 18 Uhr und der Workshop vom 21. bis 23. Mai 2023 von 18 bis 20 Uhr statt.

Maps might appear to be accurate and neutral representations of space and place, but in the process of their creation, they often carry with them a violent history of erasure, glossing over personal and collective experiences, as well as social contexts rooted in place and geography.

Countering Cartography is a research and art project beginning with a talk introducing maps as multi-faceted and multi-layered products of colonialism, and tracing the history of mapping and visual representations.

The talk will be followed by a workshop focusing on tools for deconstructing maps, and offers a liberatory perspective for counter-mapping. The workshop invites writers, researchers, and visual artists to work in groups to create works to be shared with the public at a later stage.

The project will be conducted in Arabic.

To register for the talk, please fill in the form here.

For the workshop, please apply here by Thursday, 18 May 2023.

Wir freuen uns auf Ihre Anmeldung, einen anregenden Vortrag und Workshop sowie einen intensiven Austausch im Anschluss.
