SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Visual Storytelling Workshop: An Evening with Ariel Aberg-Riger
DESCRIPTION:Edward Ginsberg Center and The Stamps School of Art + Design's Roman J. Witt Short Term Visiting artist program present a special event with Ariel Aberg-Riger\, Director of Creative Strategy & Design for the City of Buffalo\, NY and author of the award-winning book America Redux: Visual Stories from our Dynamic History. \n\nWe live in a visual world where people increasingly access information through images and video. How do we turn narratives and data into clear\, compelling visuals that move people to participate in civic life and work for social change? Join us for a special Democracy Week event with designer and author Ariel Aberg-Riger\, exploring how visual storytelling can make information more accessible and actionable. At this hands-on event\, participants will learn how images\, design choices\, data\, narrative and context all work together to communicate ideas to broad public audiences. We’ll look at examples of visual storytelling and data visualization that deepen public understanding of complex issues while opening pathways for action. We’ll also practice creating our own visual stories as a way to bring information to life for the public! All materials provided\, no specific expertise necessary. This event is designed for students\, faculty\, researchers\, artists\, designers\, communicators\, and anyone interested in civic engagement and public scholarship.\n\nDinner is provided and available at 5:30pm. Program begins at 6pm. Space is limited and registration is required. \n\nThis event is made possible through generous support from our sponsors: U-M’s Initiative for Democracy & Civic Empowerment.\n\nREGISTER: https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/session/112037
