Live illustration for GAPS by Conversations Captured in Manchester
Live illustration for GAPS
GAPS is a UK based charity which promotes relationship-based approaches and psychodynamic and systemic thinking in social work.
This artwork was produced digitally - live over the course of the day - at GAPS' 2025 conference.

My name is Beka and I am a live illustrator based in England, UK and Stockholm, Sweden.
I capture conversations to help people spread their word in an engaging and accessible way, helping to create a useful snapshot and visual prompt for discussions, meetings, conferences, celebration events and more.
I’ve collaborated with lots of lovely people including staff at universities on a variety of socially-orientated research projects (including Newcastle, Manchester, Exeter, Sheffield and many more), two of the major UK banks, New Art Exchange (NAE), Cognitive Media, several regional councils and a number of local and national charities.
My wider artistic work can be described by the term ‘live illustration’ but in different ways, including (but not limited to) live illustration or graphic recording (also known as visual minutes or ‘scribing‘), 2D and 3D drawing and illustration, puppet and prop making, installations and live performance. My artwork combines drawing, interactivity and sometimes electronics and open source tech in surprising ways.
