Community Data Book Launch with Rahul Bhargava
Center for Design
5 – 6:30 PM

Presentation by Rahul Bhargava with Lisa Brukilacchio, Marcus Santos and Josie Ross.

Join the Center for Design and The School of Journalism for a book talk and signing with Professor Rahul Bhargava. His just-published book, (Oxford University Press), pushes data storytellers to think beyond the visual when working with information in community settings. Community Data introduces a broader toolbox of arts-based methods that are designed to engage publics in civic data-centered dialogue, overcoming growing challenges of polarization and mistrust.

Bhargava argues that traditional data visualization techniques—charts, graphs, and dashboards—were not designed to foster participation or empowerment. Community Data introduces a broader framework through case studies and original research. He introduces how creative arts-based approaches such as data sculptures, data murals, and data theatre, are creating more inclusive, engaging, and action-oriented interactions with data.

Bridging global examples, academic insights, and hands-on projects, Community Data offers a playful yet rigorous set of strategies that reframe the role of data in community settings. Designers, journalists, educators, and community organizers will leave with inspiration and practical tools to rethink how data can be used to support participatory meaning-making and collective social change.
