Why is the highest mountain in Papua New Guinea called Mount Wilhelm and why is there a Bismarck Archipelago? In this workshop the students are going to explore maps, naming processes and geographical orders in the Ethnological Museum and the Museum of Asian Art. They will learn that maps were not only used for orientation, but also to record and control areas and people. The students will design alternative maps and discuss how places, spaces and squares can be decolonized in the present.
