Δ WORKSHOP

Maps that tell more – workshop in cooperation with vhs Frankfurt

There are places that are of great personal significance to us. This is also true for the comic artists featured in the exhibition ‘SHEROES’. After exploring the exhibition, we will consider which places these are for us and how we can make them visible. What does a place need to make us feel comfortable? How do we navigate boundaries or forbidden paths? What changes when we stay in a place or have to leave it? Together, we will create maps to record the special meanings and our knowledge of an area

In German Language
​€9 per person, including admission
Registration via vhs: Course no. 0108-18
Location: Weltkulturen Museum, Schaumainkai 29
