This mapping workshop is based on a corpus of references linked to the book "De la violence coloniale dans l'espace public" published in 2021 (Shed publishing).

The workshop is led by the author of the book Seumboy Vrainom :€ and the editor, Lydia Amarouche.

Mapping is a method of collective reading stemming from popular education which allows the creation of a common culture around a subject by articulating theory, practice and a sensitive approach.

Seumboy Vrainom :€ is an apprentice digital shaman.

A pure heir of French colonial history, he grew up in Luth, a housing estate in the Paris region, on the 13th floor of a tower block, floating in the virtual. Faced with the difficulty of reappropriating the land, he naturally immersed himself in digital space. Torn between the technological singularity and the collapse of the thermo-industrial society, he militates for a decolonial ecology. In 2020, he founded the Youtube channel Histoires Crépues.
