Workshop Maps and Colours (November 2020, Hamburg)

In the framework of our innovative interdisciplinary research project “Coloured Maps” we are organizing a workshop with a cross-cultural approach to discuss the material nature and meaning of colours on maps.

In the workshop we will discuss maps and colours, methods and discourses, dyes and analytical approaches. We will focus on European and Asian maps between the 15^th and 19^th centuries. More detailed information will follow in a CFP in January 2020.

So, please save the date! – If you have any further questions, don’t hesitate to contact Diana Lange (Asian maps),Benjamin van der Linde (European maps; general information) or Peter Zietlow(natural science).
