Stories Across Missing Data Typologies

The cases presented here are introduced as representative examples of the typologies outlined in the curatorial framework. The aim of this Stories section is to explore alternative formats that deal with absence of data in different ways and in order to address different typologies of absence. Next to the selected visuals and images, most relevant is the description of the methods that each of these initiatives and organizations have developed to identify the absence, first, and collect missing data for different purposes. The content has been developed as part of Simona Colitti’s case study analysis through a combination of sources. Most descriptions draw on publicly available materials produced by the projects themselves, including websites, reports, toolkits, and visual outputs, as well as on the accompanying case study analysis. The final visual story contribution includes original material authored by Visualizing Palestine, expanding and contextualising the analysis through an authorial methodological note. This approach reflects our intent to situate these cases not as exhaustive accounts, but as situated entry points into the broader categories of missing data identified in the study.
