What’s the story? What is your evidence?

Process:

• The facilitator invites the participants to imagine what story the artwork is suggesting.
• The facilitator asks for the visual evidence that supports this narrative.
• The facilitator continues to reflect the participants’ contributions.
• The facilitator repeatedly invites participants to offer their individual points of view with supporting evidence.

Reflections:

• With encouragement from the facilitator, different points of view will emerge.
• Multiple interpretations are usually entertained with genuine interest, even curiosity.

Note:

The invitation to suggest multiple interpretations parallels the medical practice of differential diagnosis.
