This meetup invites feminist researchers and allies to gather for a relaxed textile crafting session (for all levels of expertise, including complete beginners) alongside informal discussion of our research, experiences, and visions for community-building in HCI.
Building on a tradition of grassroots feminist CHI gatherings named #CHIversity since 2017—including zine-making, lunch meetups, curating lists of feminist and social justice-oriented papers published at CHI each year, and online programs during the pandemic, this session provides a safe and creative space to connect in times of increasing academic precarity and censorship.
Just come as you are, pick up the materials we provide, or bring your own, and make something together!
