This circle brings together artists, researchers, and community partners to explore how data can be visualized through relation, reciprocity, and collective process.

Speakers:

• Claudia Tomateo (Doctoral Student, MIT; Incoming Assistant Professor of Indigenous Knowledges and Methodologies at Parsons, Fall 2026)
• Girvan Tuanama Fasabi (Quechua community organizer and data visualizer, Peru)
• Jasmin Ramírez Romero (Audiovisual Producer)
• Leonardo Figueroa Helland (Associate Professor of Environmental Policy and Sustainability Management, Parsons)

The conversation will reflect on the making of Amazonian Calendars: Indigenous Data Visualizations (Cambridge, MA), an exhibition co-created with Quechua communities in the Peruvian Amazon that visualizes collective forms of knowledge rooted in land, cycles, and care.
