🥒✍️Pickles, prep, and visual notes to foster resilience! 🩵🖊️ Enjoy these recent Visual Notes created for @thedockarts Storm Meitheal workshops in County Leitrim, Ireland.
ℹ️ So how does live visual note-taking work? While everyone’s talking, I listen for memorable phrases, recurring themes, and ideas that connect. Then I turn them into hand-drawn words and pictures as the conversation unfolds. By the end, the group has an illustrated record they can revisit, share with folks who couldn’t make it, and use to pick the conversation back up.
🩵 This project was especially close to my heart. We talked about how neighbors can preserve and share food so there’s more to go around when storms disrupt supply chains. I loved how a conversation about pickles opened up a bigger one about how we take care of each other.
🥕 Food, like art, is handmade culture. A jar of preserves can hold a family recipe, a memory, and a little extra for a neighbor💛
🙏Thank you to curator Erika Mei Chua Holum, Amy Bunce, Gypsy Gifford and everyone who brought their ideas to the table!
Why is visual note-taking a value-add?
Visual note-taking brings everyone’s ideas together in a way that is engaging, inclusive, and easy to understand at a glance. Seeing insights illustrated live helps participants feel reflected in the work and deepens their connection to the content. The finished graphic becomes a memorable keepsake from your event. Afterward, you can display the artwork at your headquarters and you’ll also receive a high-resolution digital file to share on Slack, LinkedIn, Instagram, and beyond to extend the life and impact of the conversation.
