Representational Practices

Representational practices refer to the ways individuals and groups create, use, and interpret symbols, images, language, and other forms to convey meaning and understand the world. These practices include art, storytelling, data visualization, and communication methods that shape how knowledge and ideas are shared and understood. They are essential for structuring our perceptions, expressing identity, and fostering social or cultural connections. By shaping and interpreting representations, people communicate complex concepts, influence opinions, and build shared understandings across different contexts.
