Map projection and the politics of representation
We considered many different map projections in the preparation of this website, recognising that all projections are partial and political. In addition to the question of projection, we needed to consider the existence of contested boundaries, and even of naming (Aotearoa/New Zealand, for example). We have used the United Nations Geospatial Information Section
map of the world today to inform our interactive world map.
In addition, we recognise that boundaries and naming are, in many contexts, implicated in former and ongoing practices of colonial domination. Learn more about land rights, native title, and the dispossession of Indigenous communities:
