#3 The Living Languages of Data Visualization: Giving Shape to Climate, Environment and Inequality
Speaker Biographies
Federica Fragapane
Federica Fragapane is an independent information designer who has created data visualisation projects for the United Nations, the World Health Organization, the Publications Office of the European Union, the BBC, Scientific American, Google, Triennale Milano, and La Lettura of Corriere della Sera. In 2023, three of her data visualisations became part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
The talk follows the design process and reasoning behind a selection of projects developed across different contexts and media, addressing climate and the environment, as well as inequality. I will reflect on how data visualisation languages grow from the characteristics of the data, the stories they can tell and the people they are designed for.
