Mapping ohne Rand. Black History Month bei BERLIN GLOBAL

In the organizer's words:

The school wall map "Germany's Colonies" hangs in the War room of the BERLIN GLOBAL exhibition. It was used in lessons from 1937 and shows how wars were prepared for in the classroom.

In future, colonial revisionist demands and aggressive National Socialist propaganda will be less present and visible in the exhibition space.

During this year's Black History Month, illustrator and intervention designer Patricia V ester has developed new perspectives on the use of maps together with interested visitors.

Patricia Vester looked for a sensitive approach to historical map material and invited visitors to accompany her. The result is a visual, critical journey through the world of school maps and teaching materials from the history of German publications. Topics include spatial fears and spatial appropriation, scanned cities, digital wandering and traveling as a Black German.

In this event, she will present the results, talk about the collective design process and show the resulting short film, which is also a freely accessible documentary for teachers to use in the classroom.
