- Maps are about ways of inhabiting the world that go way back in history

- Showing surroundings and practices of living

- Drawings that show religious ceremonies, hunting scene, vitality dances

- Human and non human bodies

- Observing the bodies and the everyday life of people

- Circular maps -> subjectively drawn

- Network of relations, significance is implied in the size and location of things

- Representing an universe of knowledge 

- When we look at maps: what is drawn on the centre? Who’s point of view does this map represent?

- It can also be imaginary, based on emotions, mental state, journey (of life), a specific spectrum 

- A way to reflect contemporary views, social norms and ideas

- Forms, shapes and symbols can refer to a certain form of living
- Visually constructed universes 

- A map of somebody’s own experience, own personal journey (things, knowledge and senses that they encounter)

- Using the human body as a map

- A collective experience what people have been gone through

- Maps are tools to re-imagine worlds

Maaike's notes:

Meeting 08/04/2021

We went through our notes together and started talking about the different topics and subjects that we found interesting to incorporate into our project or to use as a starting point.

The main topic that the three of agreed on is culture. We didn’t want to exclude any relevant topics since we’re at the beginning of the project. We can use these as subcategories or sub-maps. So the topics that we also found interesting were:


Sexism 

For example (verbal) violence against woman, body shaming, body types being in and out of fashion 



Traditions

For example how visible or tolerated are other cultural holidays in the Netherlands?

Mapping
-Verschillende religieuze ceremonies
-Het aller daagse leven om je heen
-De wereld in delen breken
-Laat zien wat belangrijker is/wordt gezien als belangrijker
-wordt bekeken vanuit een standpunt (bijvoorbeeld Italië) omdat het eigen land in het midden wordt geplaatst
-Gebruikt voor sociale onderwerpen, liefde, trouwen, manier van denken, cultureel gestructureerd
-basis van religie (map van heaven to hell)
-Eigen ervaringen in mapping verwerken.
-Doet me denken aan tatoeages, (wat je hebt meegemaakt voor altijd bij je houden op je lichaam) Gebruik het menselijk lichaam als map
