Graphic Recordings - Kinship Rising
Cultural Awareness Online Teaching Circle
Cultural Awareness Online Teaching Circle
As a graphic recorder, it is always an honour to witness a group's journey. There is a particular sensing that happens as I sit with people and my mind comes alive as I connect individual ideas to reflect collective patterns or movement and use symbols that speak to a sense of remembrance of time spent well together.
These graphic recordings emerged through spending time with a group of Indigenous youth researchers from Kinship Rising, a project organized by the University of Victoria. This group of Indigenous youth was focused on sharing their insights and wisdom from their experiences of being in care and aptly named their project INVINCIBLE. It was an honour to reflect back to them the journey I was witnessing as they created their project.
