We are on our second day in the Barcelona Climate Talks. We have taken small steps in applying visual techniques to various parts of the conference. On the above photos you can see Stine working on what will become a display of visuals conveing the essence of WWF’s 10 steps leading to a successful COP15 agreement.
You can see more photos from the first days in Barcelona in the sidebar of this blog.
We have come to experience 9 important steps (see further below) you as a visual practitioner can take to make to takeover a conference with visual tools and techniques:
We are now on 3rd day of the negotiations and things are getting more and more tense. It will become politics tomorrow and probably some will show new positions. We have made visuals and Stine is in the middle og making a stand, where people can have dialogues.
There is a group of Danish Cartoonists who has created this site where they from now on and up to the COP15 will post illustrations and cartoons. We hope to engage with the group in terms of some of the events we will be partcipating in. Thanks to Erik Petri for the link.
Here is this years winner of “Ukraine’s Got Talent”. Drawing with sand. Not only does she master the art of making a visual story with sand, she tells a story with new twist and turns, as she whipes out and rearranges the sand to show new sides of the story.
In our various networks VizThink and IFVP we have come across his name. Heard of his work. Roy has his own style with a tablet and sketches. Situated in South Africa he works all over the world. We are looking forward to potential collaboration. Please go to his website and watch more of the great work Roy does – and get inspiration to your own. Roy also gets how to get the message across of what “we” do.
Sometimes we forget that we have one: A Visual Language. You can use a visual langauge to convey messages, create meaning together with others and build shared understandings.
