Embracing Crip Tomorrows

May 10 to June 23

Opening/Meet the artists
May 15, 5:30 - 7PM

In partnership with Kickstart Access Fest

The theme of the exhibition for Access Fest 2024 is focused on crip futurisms (we welcome artists who self identify broadly within mad, deaf, disabled, and trauma impacted communities). We want to know: how does your art story futures of hope for our communities? Crip is a term, similar to mad, that is used as a way of showing pride in being disabled (at Kickstart we use disability broadly; but this is meant to include anyone within communities or experiences that are disabled, d/Deaf, mad, trauma impacted, experiences with mental health). Crip futurisms can be simply explained by relating it to "hope" (crip futurisms is about the hope of dreaming into futures where all disabled people are valued in society).
