Our ideas are implanted through images. In visual storytelling, questioning authority involves scrutinizing the media, cultural norms, and societal expectations that may perpetuate stereotypes or biased narratives. It means critically examining the perspectives and stories that are often overlooked or marginalized. Phillips-Pendleton will discuss going beyond aesthetics and considering the socio-cultural implications of visual content through her journey as a visual storyteller, educator, author, and curator.
