About this event

What happens when data becomes art — and art becomes a way to explore identity, culture, and belonging?

Join us for a special Q&A-style webinar with Shirley Wu, a true legend in the data visualization community. In this intimate conversation, Shirley will reflect on the personal and artistic projects that have shaped her career, her values, and the way she approaches data storytelling today.

Rather than focusing on tools or techniques, this session dives deeper — into why we create, what we choose to visualize, and how data can help us express complex human experiences.

Shirley will walk us through several of her most meaningful projects, including:

- Legends :   reimagining representation and voice of 51 female Nobel Prices through data - https://shirleywu.studio/projects/legends

- Hong Kong Artists (Women) — honoring visibility and creative legacy -  https://hkartistswomen.com/

- Senses & Sentiment — exploring emotion, perception, and storytelling - https://nightingaledvs.com/senses-and-sentiment/ 

- In Between: a reflection on place, transition, and identity : https://www.shirleywu.studio/art/in-between/tokyo2025

Expect an inspiring discussion on creativity, values, and intentional work — where you’ll have the opportunity to ask Shirley your own questions.
