Scribing—a visual practice of drawing from, and in service of, a social body—has become a key tool for sensing, community building, and reflecting. Decades of seeding this social art has resulted in numerous recent experiments, most notably with animated scribing and dual-scribing in various languages to support the GAIA Journey.

In the header image above,  Jayce Pei Yu Lee uses the method of Generative Scribing to capture the essence of a recent online Inhale session for GAIA. Find below additional samples of a wide range of work, including animated scribing by Rachel Hentsch, and a sampling of the over 100 images created by the boundary-stretching global GAIA scribes: AC Chou, Anne Konings, Antares Reisky, Crystal Huang, Denise Sobrinho, Indra Zaka Permana, Geisa Paganini, Jean-Baptiste Bonvalot, Jade Dolman, Karina Mullen Branson, Kohei Noda, Margarita Reyes, Marie-Pascale Gafinen, Rooske Eerden, Shenali Perera, Tal Kamil, Vivien Leung, and Zoe Street.

Social Arts at the Global Forum - Systems Scribing Track

For those of you who did not take part in the Global Forum, or for those of you who would like to revisit the experience, here is the video of the Visual Scribing track session led by Kelvy Bird, that took place as one of the four Social Arts virtual workshops, where participants were offered a space to explore a specific Social Arts track - such as Social Poetics, Visual Practice, Social Presencing Theater, or Music - to crystallize their future intention and cultivate their action confidence towards bringing that into reality.
