Upside Down World Map

Heavyweight photo paper poster, rare maps. Not just metaphorically but world maps once were literally upside down (with south dipicted at the top). Oxfam , a place to go if you want to do something about the dream.

An explanation on my own map reads:

Traditional maps are drawn from the perspective of the first european explorers and cartographers — with the northern hemisphere at the top.we think it's time to break with tradition and show the world from the perspective of all those people living in the southern hemisphere. On these unconscious foundations stand all our prejudices about the world and the people, plants, and animals that inhabit it.
