Socially engaged data storytelling

Data Visualization Stockholm welcomes Pei Ying Loh (Kontinentalist) and Bronwen Robertson (Data4Change) for an evening exploring the intersection of data, storytelling, and social impact.

Kontinentalist (https://kontinentalist.com/) is known for narrative-driven data journalism focused on Asia, while Data4Change (https://www.data4chan.ge/) works on community-led and socially responsible data practices.
