Critical Mapping: Social Inequality in Bamberg
Critical mapping opens new perspectives on aspects often overlooked in everyday life. As part of the seminar "Social Inequality Around Us. Field Research in Bamberg“ during the summer term 2026, Bamberg university students focused on different topics in the urban center of Bamberg and documented their findings. The results are now presented in a small exhibition, inviting us to look at familiar environments from a different vantage point:
- An der Universität 5, 3rd floor in front of room U5/03.20
- July - November 2026, open on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
