Listening is what separates graphic recording/graphic facilitation/visual scribing from just drawing. It is the listening + visual practice that makes our offer a unique, meaningful, and valuable form of witnessing. How much do we give attention to our listening, though? How do we test our listening practices--and improve them? This session will explore the role of the listener in visual practice. Specifically, we will talk and listen together about:

How do we bring our whole selves to our listening practice while not making it all about us?

How do we test our listening practices to see which of our own stories, past experiences, biases, and filters influence our abilities to listen to stories that are not our own?

What does "ethical listening" mean? Why does it matter?

How do our positions in the room/online/in relation to participants/in our communities/in the world affect the ways in which we listen?
Why is listening important in visual practice? It's all about how things look, right? If that's not true, why are we so impressed by it/worried about the aesthetics?

Throughout our time together, we will participate in individual reflection, small group conversation, and large group discussion.

*****************
We will be recording this webinar, and after some light video editing, we’ll post this video on YouTube to make it available to anyone who would like to view it. You do not have to register to view the recorded webinar. But if you CAN attend live, please do! You'll be able to participate, and it helps support future events.
