Love has been heating up this month! Our favourite TV shows and movies bring with them new blueprints of romance and with that, a new range of couples. This month, we are asking questions about what this means for our ideas of romance, and if representation is truly enough to pave love’s way.

We were commissioned by the Singapore Art Museum () to contribute educational infographics for their new exhibition, Nafasan Bumi ~ An Endless Harvest. To support the amazing artworks created by Indonesia artists Elia Nurvista () and Bagus Pandega (), we visualised data on the scale and impacts of extraction of palm oil and nickel in Indonesia. “The land that gives” is the overarching title of our infographics, as we wanted to centre the abundance of the land. Our narrative also showcases the natural and reparative relationships that Indigenous communities nurture with the land even as they fight to defend their “hak ulayat” or customary land rights.

Check out the exhibition, Elia Nurvista and Bagus Pandega: Nafasan Bumi ~ An Endless Harvest, on at Singapore Art Museum from now till 31 May!

As we settle into the new year, we’re reflecting on what we’ve been up to in 2025, and what that means for 2026. We can’t wait to share more with you soon!

A hero standing with arms out stretched. A heroine in flowing saree running through mustard fields. A love song plays, a larger-than-life musical number. When we think Bollywood, these iconic, romantic scenes come to mind.

However, over the last five years, that relationship between Bollywood and romance has shifted. Surbhi Bhatia analysed 350 top-grossing films across the past three decades and found that romance has increasingly been pushed to the sidelines.

If romance has disappeared from Bollywood, what kind of love has taken its place—and who does it serve?

As AI and its technologies become more woven into our lives each day, we find ourselves reflecting on what that means for us as storytellers who work with data. Let’s talk about it!

14/11/2025

In September, we ran a workshop, “What Is and What Can Be: Reimagining Workplaces and Well-being through Data”, as a part of Common Ground’s Connecting Narratives for Change Festival.

Participants from diverse backgrounds—from independent educators to a manager in a construction company—came together to have an open discussion about their wishes for a kinder workplace, and turn it into a simple pen-and-paper data visualisation.

From open communication to wellness budget, we’ve summarised common talking points from the workshop. Take a closer look!
