In the flow-motion film produced by the student collective kartattack, we go on an adventurous journey around critical mapping with Yuki, a little monster who lives in the Elbe River. A film for young and old and all who live in the in-between.
The collective behind the film -> collective kartattack:
“We are concerned with questioning the power of representation of classical and digital maps and what realities are created by and with them.
We also want to foreground other forms of cartographic realities that are found and successively marginalized in stories, films, ceramics, music, play, and art. Maps can thus also be empowering tools for social movements, young people and also for you. They are political working tools and artistic forms of intervention.
As a collective, we support diverse struggles for social and ecological justice with the tools of critical cartographic practice (contact: ). The working group “Critical Geographies of Global Inequalities” (AG KGGU) supports us in this work and a few of us are also part of the working group.”
At the Asphalt Blasting Festival (2023) , our explanatory “Flow-Motion” film was shown. Afterwards, we created a critical map of the underground with kids. For this, we dug up soil, marveled at it and questioned it, and the kids also mapped their stories and ideas into it.
