Records of Waiting: Crafts, Ornaments, Data Visualisation, presented by Poland

This discussion brings together experts of different fields to explore the ways in which crafts, aesthetic considerations, and data visualisation intersect within the exhibition's themes.

Times5.30–7pm
SpaceScreening Room
Price£5

This panel examines how the exhibition Records of Waiting reframes traditional Polish Highland woodcarving as a tool for recording and visualising time. Bridging design, sociology, and material culture, the conversation will explore how ornament can reflect both statistical data and lived experience.

Speakers

Peter Hall, design researcher and author of Critical Visualization: Rethinking the Representation of Data

Monika Rosińska, sociologist and co-curator, reflecting on the project’s research-led methodology

Marta Foresti, founder and CEO of LAGO-COLLECTIVE, a research and creative collective focused on migration, culture and the arts.

Moderated by Victoria Broackes, Director of London Design Biennale
