Our friends and long-standing fellow critical geographers of the working group Critical Geographies of Global Inequalities have been part of Not-an-Atlas since its very beginning. As such, they contributed the chapter “C/Artographies of Positionality Or How We Try to Situate Ourselves as a Working Group in Academia” to the book and online version of This Is Not an Atlas.
The group, based at the Hamburg University’s geography department, has now conceived the exhibition “geographic post-colonial: How maps and images make the world” that uses six different keyholes to provide a critical insight into how Hamburg geographers* have been creating the world through maps and images since the 19th century, how these views of the world have changed again and again, and what consequences this has had and continues to have in different areas.
Working with decolonial and postcolonial theories means for us to acknowledge that the academic world is also in complicity with historical tyrannies, which make it possible to perpetuate colonial continuities and power relations until today.
