A wonderful website - with wonderful stories of people. Images do matter! Because images contribute to the stories one tells. 

O comunitate face atâta cât poveștile pe care le spune despre ea însăși.

Visualisation of complex information

Is it enough to think complex ideas, if these ideas do not reach the public?
How information is transmitted, synthetized and publicised are also three very important factors we need to bear in mind.
LA LOMA designed some great exhibitions/ projects, from The Fascinating World of the Piano (http://laloma.info/en/projects/faszinationklavier), visual tactics for protests and activists, The Glass Room pop-up expo (about looking into your online life https://theglassroom.org/) and many others.

Good to think with: Visualising Cultures: Media, Technology and Religion (BASR Annual Conference 2019)

The British Association for the Study of Religions (BASR) is receptive to including the
participation of scholars in other disciplines and fields of study.

This year, the conference (Leeds, UK/ 2-4 September 2019)  will be held in collaboration with documentary film makers from Leeds Trinity University’s Media, Film and Culture team and IRIS (International Research Centre for Interactive storytelling) and will include the screening of several documentary projects. As such, we welcome papers and panels on the theme of screen media, film and religion as well as on the academic study of religion/s more generally. It does not need to fit the theme. 


This can include religion in all types of media, including, but not limited to:
• Film
• Documentary
• Gaming – virtual worlds
• Digital technology
• Production of screen media projects on religion
In addition, we welcome any research approach applicable to the study of religion/s,
including but not limited to:
• Visual ethnography
• Filmmaking
• Collaborative practice
• Photo-elicitation
• Other innovative research methods
