Choreographing Fluidities: Charting In-betweenness Through Sensory
Imaginaries, Linguistic Musings, and Critical Design
Method: workshop, rapid prototyping, participatory design, design probe
The concept of in-betweenness, a state of being intermediate, transitional, or liminal between two points or stages, entails navigating a spectrum of cultural, linguistic, and identity-related dimensions. This interstitial offers a rich tapestry of experiences that are often underexplored traditional design practices. This paper introduces a novel workshop format designed for individuals who navigate the complexity of inbetweenness, offering tools for them to express, exchange, and creatively channel their experiential liminality into tangible output. The workshop is carefully crafted to create an open space that invites agential storytelling and empathetic cross-reading among participants. Methodologically inspired by sensory anthropology, sociolinguistics, information science, and design justice, this project seeks to harness the intangible, fluid, and often dishonored in-between experiences and celebrate its creative potential and hermeneutical richness.
