Open Access Foundation is hosting an event tonight that feels very relevant and necessary to the here and now.
You can join them for a conversation-communion on how crip creatives confront catastrophes: those of the past, those that occupy our present and the ones yet to come.
Hosts and participants alike will touch on:
- How are crips resisting, aggravating, upending these untenable worlds?
- How do we honour the time signatures of our crip bodyminds when movements, genocides, and wholesale abandonment ask for an urgency we cannot always offer?
- How and where have disabled, mad, d/Deaf and sick spoonies built (and re-built) crip-centric liberated zones?
- How do we architect non-siloed futures of radical togetherness in, borrowing Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha's verbiage, the sacred organizing spaces of disabled homes and sanctuaries?
This conversation will be co-curated by crip-mad writers and artists Christina Oyawale and sama nemat Allah, in collaboration and discussion with Evelyn Pakinewatik, m.patchwork monoceros, Cease Wyss and Keimi Nakashima-Ochoa.
