Community Conversations: From Data to Art

Diverse Community. Real Artists. Thoughtful Conversations.

Let’s unpack the relationship between Data and Art. In her ongoing series Carrying Stones Project, Sawyer Rose makes visible the invisible by giving life to data through art. Her sculptures tangibly illustrate important statistics about women’s unpaid labor, giving way to conversations around social norms, expectations, and inequalities in our society.

Along with artists, Dennis Delgado and Scott Kildall, we will discuss: How can we interact with data in a non-passive way? What can we learn through data? What messages do we consume or convey through how data is interpreted and represented? What happens when art and data collide?

This virtual event is free for all with an RSVP.

Community Conversations: Recognizing Women Through Public Art & Policy

In this Community Conversation, we will explore the role of public art and policymaking in recognizing the labor and legacies of women’s work. Inspired by the themes present in Sawyer Rose’s exhibition, let’s discuss how we hold space for women as institutions, individuals, and collectives.

Join us in conversation with Womanhood Project. Womanhood, a project of Art Builds Community, is an arts-based initiative that explores different ways to commemorate women from all intersectional identities and their significant contributions to the region and beyond. Womanhood is an initiative through the County of Santa Clara Office of Women's Policy. You can learn more about Womanhood Project here!
