“Maketa's graphic recording brought to life complex and difficult to verbalize ideas and helped to connect the discussion holistically. His ability to listen and capture what is said with accuracy and artistic graphics is impressive, inspiring, creative and reflects the collective voice. The graphic charts from the community dialogues support the concept of community voices being heard and documented visually while providing a piece of artwork with spontaneity, meaning, and expression of everyone who contributes to the conversations.
