Title: “Change Stories Graphic Summaries: Belo Horizonte, Brazil; Belfast, Northern Ireland; Bogotá, Colombia”
Client: Change Stories Project, University of Washington, and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
Description: Through illustrations and short text, the graphic summaries braid a multiplicity of personal stories, collective stories, and stories of politics and power to tell the story of sustainable and equitable change. This was a primary outcome of the larger research project which aims to spark dialogue and learning through storytelling about urban changes that support sustainability, health, and wellbeing for all residents.
Role: As lead designer and co-producer, I translated academic reports on the context of each of the case city cities into multi-page booklets. This involved a year-long iterative process with academics and community activists to ensure correct representation of characters, places and cultures. I also translated the booklets into Portuguese and Spanish in collaboration with academics in each case study city. Illustrations were all done with pen on paper and scanned into Adobe Creative Suite.
