The exhibit "Shapes of Inequalities" by Federica Fragapane at Triennale Milano presents visuals that challenge conventional data representation. Rather than using standard graphs, Fragapane creates organic shapes that reflect stark realities such as economic injustice and climate change. During the Art for Tomorrow conference, she discussed her approach as a visual storyteller, emphasizing that data is not neutral and should convey an ethical understanding of human experience. Her work aims to encapsulate complexity, evoking emotional reactions while advocating for broader awareness on critical issues.
'For me it's important to reiterate two aspects: first of all, how data itself is not a neutral entity dropped from above, but it carries a political weight.'
'I strive to capture portions of them through my work.'
Fragapane is not merely presenting data but instead telling a story that provokes thought and reflection on significant societal issues.'
Her visuals prompt an emotional response, translating complex socio-economic realities into an accessible and visually appealing format.
