This exciting output, created by artist James Abell, emerged from collaborative work with the Binks Hub as part of the ‘REALITIES Translation Series’, which aims to communicate REALITIES findings in accessible and creative ways.

While GDPR and data management can often perceived as dry subjects, they are critically important in their own right and as central to the REALITIES project. Ongoing challenges around interdisciplinary research, community engagement, and data governance prompted extensive reflection, discussion, and creative problem-solving. The REALITIES project manager once commented that it felt ‘like a Jenga tower’— where one misstep risks destabilising everything, highlighting the complexity and fragility of navigating ethical, legal, and relational dimensions of data within community-based research. The intricacies of interdisciplinary research and engaging with data.

From that, this creative output was born.
