Join CHIFOO for The Design of Change: How Heroes, Monsters, and Rituals Shape Transformation. Discover how the Rite of Passage—a timeless framework for navigating change—shapes the way we grow, adapt, and create meaning. From real-world shifts to the imaginative worlds of role-playing games, Thor Madsen will show how transformation follows a design we can learn, practice, and apply to what comes next.

History is a complex web of intertwined forces acting together over time. Conventional methods of understanding history—text, line graphs, and maps—cannot convey complexity. For that, you need the Historigraph.
