After spending a year in reflection and intense discussion, Kontinentalist is starting a new chapter with a new mission. How do we tell data stories ethically? How do we decolonise data storytelling? What does it mean to draw on indigenous knowledge?

✨ We're celebrating the new year with something special. 🎉 Come join us for a chill Friday night with good food, good company, great music, data activities, and a space to think about the time and climate we live in. eventbrite.sg/e/roots-that-r…

Quick question: How many research papers have you actually read over the past year?

Based on our latest poll and feedback from the Lapis Live event, most people don’t read research papers—too dense, too long. That’s why we built Lapis, a no-code tool to turn your important research into engaging stories. Join the waitlist now! lapis-story.com

I’m in Stockholm for a little bit these weeks! Would anyone be up for a ☕️?

In the coming months @kontinentalist_ and @LapisStory will be sharing at various events of our developing methodology that brings us back to the basics: What is data? What is a visualisation? What is AI? What is a story? How do we make sense of these ethically?

I’ve learnt so much in my time here about data, ethics, coloniality, and what it means to adopt a decolonial approach to our work at @kontinentalist_ . I’m excited to share that I’ve returned to full-time work last week. I’ve missed this sorely.

I’ve come to the end time at @UoE_EFI studying an MSc in Data, Inequality and Society! My life has completely changed this year, and I'm grateful for this opportunity thanks to the @CheveningFCDO.

These include: 📖 How to structure and storyboard a data story 📈 How to build a narrative data visualisation that gets your message across effectively 🎨 Emotionally effective and inclusive use of colours ❓Which chart is most effective for your work?

📊Our flagship Data Storytelling workshop will make its final run for the year this October! You’ll discover effective techniques and learn our best practices through hands-on activities. Sign up at the link below! workshop.kontinentalist.com

MONA CHALABI IS COMING TO EDINBURGH *tries to calm myself down*

A fun day out sightseeing with the best people from #Outlier2024

This is what Singaporean/Malaysian solidarity sometimes looks like: I lost my voice and @KevinWee90 brought me his own bottle of nin jiom #outlier2024

@theneilrichards @OutlierConf @kontinentalist_ Thank you Neil!!

Next up at @OutlierConf are two superstars running their own agencies - it’s @hellopeiying (founder of @kontinentalist_ ) and Leticia Pozza (founder of Odd Data and Design studio) brilliantly promoting data humanism and change #outlier2024

Day 1 of #Outlier2024 is a wrap! Would have taken more notes and posted more if not for terrible jet lag. Lesson learnt for the next one — don’t fly in just the day before if you’re going across timezones!
