(Lunch starts at 11:30am)
The creation of maps has historically been linked to colonial imaginings of conquest and discovery. Critical of colonial mapping and naming practices, this event addresses:
- How might we use decolonizing methodologies to make and remake maps?
- What archiving and storytelling methods might we engage with to center knowledges and worldviews from local and translocal Indigenous communities?
Join us to learn from guest speakers, share mapping approaches, and workshop ideas.
