We participated in the conference “Constructing Worlds” in Copenhagen supporting Bliss Browne delivering her key note. The many participants were discussing the way we – by relations and communication – continually construct the world we are part of. We can not be part of the meaningmaking happening as we speak. The question we debated with Bliss Browne was – and will continue to be with us – is:

* How does the visuals we delivery contribute to the collective construction of meaning?
* What are the possibilities and the risks? What is the role of the visual facilitator?
* In what ways do you improve your visuals to really support the collective?

Any ideas?

Bliss is the woman behind Imagine Chicago, an innovative civic project founded in 1992 which has inspired a global movement on six continents. Recently she did a short workshop at the Bigger Picture office. Afterwards we had a chance to talk with her about the value of visual framework in social construction.
