Event Details:

Join us for the launch of Info We Trust (Visionary Press, 2025), an illuminating journey through the world of data storytelling. Author RJ Andrews weaves a rich tapestry of insights, combining text and imagery to trace the evolution of data graphics from simple products of civilization to potent instruments of persuasion. With a storyteller’s flair, Andrews navigates narrative artistry and scientific inquiry to get at the heart of information design: creating meaning from space, time, and beyond. Featuring hundreds of hand-drawn illustrations and dotted with fascinating marginalia, Info We Trust is a visual feast that captures the essence and excitement of data storytelling.

Please register in advance to attend. Copies of Info We Trust will be available to purchase at the talk. This is an in-person-only event.
