Transitions–between career stages, life events, project phases, and social roles–shape how researchers work, learn, grieve, and collaborate. This Meet-Up centres those liminal moments through two complementary activities: a rotating communal beadwork practice and a soundscape co-creation and listening session. Over 90 minutes, small teams engage through beadwork themes (each theme is associated with different bead types and a transition prompt) to gradually build a bead strip that documents personal and professional transitions. The group then uses a multi-media activity–voice fragments, environmental sounds, and vibrations–to surface how transitions sound, feel, and reconfigure relationships. Outputs include textile artifacts and a short soundscape collage shared with participants after the conference. We emphasize artistic and generative practices by co-creating prompts as a collective that is currently in flux both personally and professionally, and designing activities to invite multiple epistemologies into HCI practice.
