The Decolonial Atlas
Challenging our relationships with the land, people, and state
The Decolonial Atlas is a growing collection of maps which, in some way, help to challenge our relationships with the land, people, and state. It’s based on the premise that cartography is not as objective as we’re made to believe. The orientation of a map, its projection, the presence of political borders, which features are included or excluded, and the language used to label a map are all subject to the map-maker’s bias – whether deliberate or not.
