Abstract
In the last few years alone, we have seen a significant increase in a demand for inclusion and diversity in every sector in our society. While there are numerous data visualization projects that point out and raise concerns about the lack of diversity, they often merely illustrate the disparity. By using the permanent collection data of the Museum of Modern Art, this capstone project explores ways to creatively visualize gender disparity among the artists in the museum’s collection and questions what makes evocative visualizations that make an impression on the audience. It examines how to create visualizations that not only illustrate disparity but also visualize a void. It then further delves into the question of the accuracy of gender data as the definition of gender quickly evolves in the United States and contemplates challenges of visualizing such data. It also touches on the regional tension that may arise as the definition of gender primarily evolves in the Global North. It advocates for the need to continue collecting and analyzing gender data in a conventional manner in order to produce disaggregated data to identify gender inequality.
