The validity of your embodied knowledge

Centering around dialogues of lived experiences, and texts of Disability Justice and Crip Theory, during the session we will collectively sense/work toward access, by gathering in ways comfortable to varied abilities. Gemaal op Zuid will offer a place where we can sit, lie down and rest our head for a moment, or stem it out with pen and paper.

Somewhere between the crip and the temporarily-able-bodied folks, we will make space for varied ways of knowing. During the session, Raffia and Sandra will guide participants through forms of sharing that offer fluid entrances for re-imagining our interdependent body-minds.

I am often struck
by the dangerous narcissism fostered by spiritual rhetoric
that pays so much attention
to individual self-improvement
and so little to the practice of love
within the context of community.
