"Curated by Patricio Dávila, Diagrams of Power showcases art and design works using data, diagrams, maps and visualizations as ways of challenging dominant narratives and supporting the resilience of marginalized communities.
Maps, graphs, and visualizations: we draw diagrams to help us think, communicate and put forth what we think is important or what we want to be true. While diagrams are often seen as statements of fact, they can further agendas by discounting other realities beneath a cloak of perceived objectivity. Diagrams of power work against representations that claim omniscience by speaking from a position, and making visible what and who gets represented and who does the representing."
