A new project which I'd like to invite you to get involved with if you have the chance.
There is a Facebook group to join, and some interesting ideas to get you started.
Eurocentric and north orientated maps have dominated world mapping for many centuries, despite other orientations having existed (Christian ‘T in O’ maps centred on Jerusalem and oriented to the east, medieval Arab maps with south at the top, etc.) and other centrings being used today (e.g., Sino-centric, Amero-centric).
Topsy-turvy is a call to action - to make or use maps in ways that challenge dominant world views.
