The Hope Booth: Can the action of sketching increase hope? ExEd 2023 UAL Education Conference, London UK.

Leimanis, Ilga (2023) The Hope Booth: Can the action of sketching increase hope? In: ExEd 2023, 3-4 July 2023, University of the Arts London.

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 and diagramming 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).

How could you encourage students to engage with this method of visioning to manage stress?
