Visualization as a Research Tool in Activism · Angeles Briones · On Data And Design
On Data and Design Meetup #22
Online, October 26th, 2022
Angeles Briones (Santiago-Chile) is a design researcher and data activist. She works at the intersection of data visualization and data activism research, an area she explored in her PhD thesis "Disclose to tell. A data design framework for alternative narratives". Angeles shows us her findings and her own collaborative archive that presents alternative narratives.
We are all aware that these are difficult times – war conflicts, human rights violations, climate change, etc. We also know that difficult issues can be very emotional or disregard certain perspectives. It takes courage and a lot of sensitivity to approach these issues. Visualization is not always helpful and has often been abused in history, better known as propaganda. At our next event, we want to approach the issue from an activist perspective. We will dedicate ourselves to three speakers who have tackled taboo issues related to data, visualization, provocation and transparency.
Today we need courageous, reflective people who use data visualization to change society and make people think.
On Data and Design is an evening lecture series organized by the Basel-based studio for information design Superdot – visualizing complexity. The lecture series fosters knowledge, community and exchange at the intersection of design and data practice. Our free, quarterly events feature three short talks with beer, snacks and good company. Currently On Data and Design live events are running in Basel, Vienna and Berlin with a growing community of over 1500 engaged DataVizzers.
