Overview
Signs and symbols are all around us.
With a single glance, they direct us to bathrooms, represent mathematical concepts like pi and can communicate what religion a person belongs to. Without using words, symbols can help humans connect, stay safe and express who we are. They can bring up feelings, cut through language barriers and spread ideas that people may agree or disagree with. To be truly useful, a symbol has to be understood instantly by as many people, cultures and ages as possible. That means we need to start learning and interpreting different symbols as early as we can.
In Beyond Words, explore different kinds of powerful symbols and their context throughout history. Understanding more about symbols can help us to better understand one another. In a world where symbols speak volumes, let’s all make heart hands.
