Title: TASK: Map your clothes
Course: GG 22/23 Leuphana-Copy > Section: 2.4 Fashion // Toxic

Do you know where your clothes are produced, and by whom?

(a) Brainstorm and look it up

Do you know where your clothes were produced? Take a moment to check the tags on the clothes you are wearing right now.

(b) Document your findings

Make a list of your and your group's findings. Choose a tool or method to visualize your finding, for example:

- use Google maps or the National Geographic map maker (see below)
- take a photo of each other wearing your clothes and annotate it (e.g. adding comments using your smartphone)

Share your findings and your visualization (a screenshot, a photo, a link, …) in the FORUM: Our Clothes on Maps.
