Records of Waiting: Crafts, Ornaments, Data Visualization

This panel examines how the exhibition Records of Waiting reframes traditional Polish Highland woodcarving as a tool for recording and visualising time. Bridging design, sociology, and material culture, the conversation will explore how ornament can reflect both statistical data and lived experience.

Panelists include:

Peter Hall
Design Researcher and Suthor of Critical Visualization: Rethinking the Representation of Data

Monika Rosińska
Sociologist and Co-curator, reflecting on the project’s research-led methodology

Marta Foresti
Founder and CEO of LAGO-COLLECTIVE, a research and creative collective focused on migration, culture and the arts.

Together, they will consider how contemporary design can translate temporal inequalities into aesthetic and material forms. The panel will be chaired by Victoria Broackes, Director of London Design Biennale.
