As the world becomes increasingly shaped by algorithmic systems and automated decision-making, visualization must evolve beyond a purely technical act. It becomes an ethical, cultural, and emotional process. How can data visualization embody collective care? What practices emerge when we approach visualizing data as a responsible, thoughtful, and caring act? VISAP 2025 invites participants to reimagine data not as static or neutral, but as a living archive, a vessel for memory, identity, and shared histories. In this context, care is not sentimentality; it is relational and collective. It acknowledges the responsibilities we bear toward the data we use and the lives it represents. We are called to visualize with empathy to illuminate environmental issues, uncover hidden collective stories, surface silenced narratives, and expose systemic biases.
