Dialoguing with ISEA 2024's theme "everywhen," the workshop proposal intricately intertwines women's empowerment, capitalism growth, and performative data visualization.
Attendees are invited to explore a paradigm shift in leadership through theoretical discussions and interactive activities. The whole workshop sparks insightful conversations, linking practical and conceptual aspects of women's empowerment to capitalism, resources, and growth.
On the first day, participants explore two exciting exercise the first is a ‘performative data visualization —through play—rearrange chairs symbolically, expressing their visions for a self-aware, alternative growth society. The second is to construct Rich Pictures: a sociology-based workshop to allow participants to draw large mind maps with keywords to construct dynamic solutions and animate the results. Borrowing from Bertolt Brecht's "alienation effect," our workshop disrupts the fourth wall, fostering an environment where insights on 'growth awareness' are shared.
On the second day we open the problems of colonization and degrowth, with first nations alternatives inside an installation with plant-human interaction. And in the afternoon, we gather all our resources together for a set of small performative presentations to the public. The concepts of this workshop align with ISEA 2024's exploration of 'everywhen,' as we dynamically dissect the interplay of empowered women, politics, circular economies, leadership, and societal growth, creating a space where the past, present, and future converge in a thought-provoking and innovative narrative.
