At the Child Poverty Collaborative Community Summit in Cincinnati, the secret mission was to galvanize participants into action by instilling hope and sparking collaboration–while avoiding overwhelm about a large, complex emotionally-charged problem. We collaborated with other graphic recorders to co-design a 24’ “puzzle wall” to organize the large volume of content into three overarching color-coded visual metaphors. Six different graphic recorders were positioned around the conference hall to simultaneously capture content from the discussion tables onto pre-cut “puzzle piece” boards. As the group completed discussion of each question, the completed “puzzle pieces” were placed back into the puzzle wall to create a concise, inspiring and deeply meaningful reflection of the community’s work that day. (It was later deconstructed and re-assembled in the foyer of their offices.)
