Maps are powerful tools to represent and codify spatial and social relations between places, objects, persons and stories. Exploring different historical practices of spatial representation, participants have reflected on the design choices cartographers of different cultures make in mapping their world. Exercises of \u201ccounter-mapping\u201d\u2013\u2013representing that which is not commonly mapped\u2013\u2013sharpens the attention to that which did not make it onto the conventional map.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lea van der Weide: Horse-Mapping and Stick-Charting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lea van der Weide revisits a familiar landscape through the animal spatial sensory, expressed in the manner of a Marshallese stick chart from the nineteenth century. Mapping a horse ride through the olfactory perception of a horse, she offers an alternative cartography of a landscape otherwise navigated with the help of Google maps. Re-mapping this environment with an attention to soil textures, botanic and scents\u2013\u2013horses avoid the smell of pigpens, for example\u2013\u2013and using physical objects to represent spatial relations, van der Weide asks what features of the landscape remain unseen by the geographies drawn up by humans of the digital age.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Jenny N\u00fcesch: A Travel Diary of Pacific History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Over the course of one semester, Jenny N\u00fcesch has mapped her intellectual journey across Pacific History by tracing trans-Oceanic migrations, kinship connections and (post-)colonial power relations. Like any map, hers puts relative accents on sites that matter in her personal exploration of Pacific pasts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foregrounding the island of Rapa Nui, Jenny reorganizes space according to the historical narratives that emerged from her research into the local experience of a single island in the vast ocean\u2013\u2013and it expresses the role of personal experience in the imagination of time and space.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
