We participated as speakers at LareiraConf with the dynamic ⁉️ Data or narrative: who kills whom?, bringing to the stage something we are passionate about: talking about data, gaffes, and how information can often be used to inform... or to construct exactly the narrative someone wants to tell.
During the session, we played with manipulated charts, misleading scales, biased headlines, and real-life examples to open up conversation, debate, and question how we consume data in our day-to-day lives. A mix of outreach, humor, and critical thinking that we thoroughly enjoyed sharing with the community.
For us, these types of spaces are important because we deeply believe in sharing knowledge, in making data something more accessible, understandable, and human, and in the value of community. Many of the most beautiful things that have happened to us professionally were born precisely like this: around conversations, events, and people eager to learn and build together.
