Data Storytelling Beyond the Visual with Rahul Bhargava
March 4th, 4:00pm–5:30pm
Traditional data visualizations were not designed to foster participation or empowerment in communities. Prof. Rahul Bhargava will introduce creative arts-based approaches to working with data that go beyond the visual. Through case studies and examples spanning physical data sculptures, community data murals, data sonification performances, and embodied data theatre, this talk explores how we can create more inclusive, engaging, and action-oriented interactions with information.
Embodying Data—Telling Impactful Data Stories with Rahul Bhargava
March 5th, 10:00am–12:00pm
This workshop will introduce practices from Data Theatre to reset how we can tell stories using embodied data representations. Through an approach of serious play, we will work in teams to select datasets or testimonies related to human rights violations, censorship, or patterns of repression. We will embody the data through sculpture, choreographed movement, or staged scenes that make visible the human impact behind the numbers. Register at https://forms.gle/bDh8BjTkWgnBENaY6
