The Doubt Times

The Doubt Times is a publication developed with Creative Media for Social Change as part of Desinformatie in Kaart, a research project exploring misinformation and media literacy within the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences. The research approached media as an ecology: a landscape in which we move, make choices, encounter polluted areas, and influence through our own participation.

How could this research be translated into an output that encourages doubt and reflection, beyond simply telling people what is true or false?

I created a publication that translated research insights around care, responsibility, reciprocity and not-knowing into questions, visual metaphors and memes. It doesn’t explain the research, it uses simple gestures and interruptions to invite readers to question their own position within the information landscape.

The final outcome takes the form of four newspaper variations designed to circulate throughout the university. Headlines become questions, while dense and partially illegible texts evoke informational overload. Illustrations and visual interventions create moments of ambiguity, using doubt not as uncertainty to resolve, but as a way to pause, reflect and look differently at the information we consume.

The Doubt Times was produced in an edition of 800 copies.

We De Try

Concept , Illustration , Printing , Binding , Design

Description

We De Try is a publication developed with Esther Aminata Kamara and Creative Media for Social Change, exploring storytelling and story-listening as research practices within higher education. The research follows a process of questioning how stories are listened to, interpreted and shared, and what care and responsibility mean within these encounters.

How can a publication give form to a personal and non-linear research journey while inviting the reader to listen along the way?

Working with Esther, I first explored different forms the research could take, including an interactive website, a podcast series and an illustrated book. Together we chose to develop the book, and I translated her writing and research journey into a visual and material form.

I designed and illustrated the publication as a continuous reading experience, using drawings, diagrams, shifts in composition and speech-like elements to accompany the movement between personal stories, research reflections and theoretical ideas. The visual language moves alongside the writing and helps give rhythm and form to the changes in voice and perspective.

The final publication was printed and binded by me in 4 color RISO printing, carrying the project from early publishing exploration through design, illustration and final production.
