In the organizer's words:

The illustrator and intervention designer Patricia Vester invites visitors to BERLIN GLOBAL to explore maps and images that have shaped our view of the world.

Based on the exhibition object of the school wall map "Germany's Colonies" (1937) in BERLIN GLOBAL's War Room, old atlases and maps will be taken apart, painted over, overwritten and reassembled.

The all-day drop-in program offers a creative and critical examination of maps and makes the art form of mapping accessible by painting over and drawing new maps.

Old material can also be brought along.

Patricia Vester is an illustrator, intervention designer, activist, curator, process facilitator and museum consultant on colonial contexts and museum practice as well as a developer of discrimination-sensitive art and cultural education. She was born in Germany to a German mother and a Ghanaian father. She is interested in colonial traces and the lack of spaces to come to terms with them. She seeks exchange on possible mediation formats and designs comics and graphic novels as workbooks. Her work can be found at the Museum Utopie und Alltag, Stadtmuseum Cottbus, Museen Stade, Stiftung Preußische Schlösser und Gärten, Kunsthalle Karlsruhe and the Brandenburg Museum für Zukunft, Gegenwart und Geschichte.
