The remarkable story of Sins Invalid, a performance project that
centres queer disability justice.
In
recent years, disability activism has come into its own as a vital
and necessary means to acknowledge the power and resilience of the
disabled community, and to call out ableist culture wherever it
appears.
Crip
Kinship explores the art
activism of Sins Invalid, a San Francisco Bay Area-based performance
project, and its radical imaginings of what disabled, queer, trans,
and gender-nonconforming bodyminds of colour can do: how they can
rewrite oppression, and how they can gift us with transformational
lessons for our collective survival.
Grounded
in the disability justice framework, Crip
Kinship investigates the
revolutionary survival teachings that disabled, queer of colour
community offers to all our bodyminds. From their focus on crip
beauty and sexuality to manifesting digital kinship networks and
crip-centric liberated zones, Sins Invalid empowers and moves us
toward generating our collective liberation from our bodyminds
outward.
Includes
a foreword by Patty Berne, co-founder, and executive and artistic
director of Sins Invalid.
