N2 - 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. The format facilitates networking across institutions, disciplines, and career stages, while fostering dialogue that affirms feminist ideas as central to HCI. By offering an explicitly critical feminist environment as part of the CHI program, this meetup not only supports immediate exchange and connection, but also strengthens the long-term continuity of feminist community within CHI.
