TU#06 - Misfits in the World: Crip Futurities and World-making in Disability Arts
Description
In this talk, the speakers speculated upon the anti-assimilationist politics of crip cultural practices within the disability arts sector in northern Turtle Island (Canada). We discussed the ethical and practical complexities of “cripping” our research methodologies and gesturing towards decolonization while collaborating with disability community members.
This talk draws on the speakers’ ongoing participation in Deaf, disability, and mad arts, specifically in North America (Turtle Island), while referring to their conference paper entitled “Misfits in the World: Responding to Cultural Breaks Through Disability Arts” (Chandler, Rice, East, and El Kadi) presented at the Society for Disability Studies 2022 conference.
Speaker(s):Dr. Eliza Chandler, Dr. Carla Rice, Lisa East
Discussant(s):Dr. Rana El Kadi
