The WELTSTUDIO features three interactive map-making methods that reimagine the practice of cartography: the Person Map, the Thread Map and the Ball Map. You can make maps out of threads, body-sized posters with individual stories or tracks that lead rolling balls to your favourite places. Visitors work together to create, weave, draw and stamp out unique maps.
