This year Tactical Tech completed two projects about how activists and political actors make things seen -a book called Visualising Information for Advocacy <http://visualisingadvocacy.org>, and a film series called Exposing the Invisible <https://exposingtheinvisible.org>. We're thrilled to finally be able to share these with you, so please join us for a screening of the films and book launch on Thursday, November 7, from 6-8.30pm at No. 7 High Street in Cooke Town. We will be showing two episodes of Exposing the Invisible with a sneak preview of the third, and talking about the book. Copies of the book will be available for sale (drinks and snacks are on the house).

The films follow the unraveling of corporate networks in Azerbaijan, how video channels like Youtube are used to expose arms smuggling into Syria, the theft of Lebanon's seashore, balloons that record demolitions in East Jerusalem and the unseen war waged by drones in Pakistan. Learn more about the project here: https://exposingtheinvisible.org About the book: A good campaign is like a good joke. A joke's effectiveness relies on the use of the right words, good timing, convincing delivery and a strong punch-line delivered to the right person. When visualising information for advocacy these are the factors we need to consider. In our new book, Visualising Information for Advocacy, we explore how to influence issues using the right combination of information, design, technologies and networks. Through more than 60 case studies of visual information campaigns from around the world,we show how to capture attention, present stories and take our audiences on visual journeys through data.
