🌍✨ The African Union is calling for the remake of the world map, a bold step to rewrite how Africa is represented globally.
For too long, colonial cartography has shrunk Africa’s true size and distorted its image.

Correction: from @TrudyHopeB - it's not Mutapa, but Chewa Chiefdom the Chief who rules (Malawi, Mozambique and Zambia) is called Chief Kalonga Gawa Undi. The Chiefdom is at the border of Zambia, Mozambique and Malawi.

Mea culpa! 🙏

I hope these comments are provocative and reflect a small part of the quality of the conversation this morning. Kudos to @hotosm for leading this session and for fostering this where a session could happen in the first place!

From Costa Rica, panelist @la_geofeminista - who is part of @GeochicasOSM brings up @GeoBrujas, which is too fantastic an idea not to retweet!

First, panelist @TrudyHopeB brings up how Portuguese colonialists broke up Mwenemutapa (Kingdom of Mutapa) to form Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Mozambique.

(Shame on OHM for not having Mutapa on the map... yet)

Some brief snippets from this morning's @hotosm "Colonialism in Open Data and Mapping" session, particularly ones where OpenHistoricalMap might be able to help preserve precolonial memories. #decolonize #osm #DecolonizeTheMap #sschat
The fact that the UK is essentially the north on the global map today, says a lot about where we are.
Just like history is a weapon, so can be a map..
#DecolonizeTheMap
I am glad that @hotosm has hosted this discussion. And I even more glad with who got to speak today. The participation has been wonderful as well. Maybe this is a beginning of something better. #DecolonizeTheMap
What does it really mean for the local community to be heard or be seen on the map. That's not an issue particularly with @openstreetmap but definitely a difficult and core question for mappers and cartographers to #DecolonizeTheMap
