“Can sketching increase hope?” I presented research on my Hope Booth at glad Symposium 2023: Gathering Ourselves at Central Saint Martins — thank you for this amazing opportunity! I received so many positive comments! The entire programme was so inspiring and it was great to see what colleagues have been doing. Thank you to Catherine! glad is the Group for Learning in Art and Design in Higher Education.
Abstract: What if there was a way to generate ideas, navigate uncertainty and complexity, while doing something simple like putting pen to paper? Join this speculative space for thinking through a question, using sketching, diagramming and notation as tools to decipher, explore and engage with the idea of emergence. After a pilot year facilitating Hope Booths, Ilga Leimanis will share her research, case studies and themes including hope as action (Solnit, 2004, Gwinn & Hellman, 2018), drawing to see (Causey, 2016), notatio as a refuge (Barthes, 1979).
