This film screening and reading marks the starting point of a project by a new crip research group, comprising art practitioners who identify as crip, disabled or otherwise non-conforming to standard ideas of good health. The group formed to develop artwork, a critical language and practical changes to working relationships within arts organisations from a ‘crip’ position.
The term ‘crip’ describes a necessarily political position on illness and disability. It subscribes to the social model of disability, which states that disability is caused by the way society is organised, rather than by a person's impairment or difference, and looks at ways of removing barriers that restrict life choices for disabled people. Crip theory owes much to queer theory, taking its basis of fluidity and applying it to identities forged in sickness and unhealth. This includes disability, chronic illness, mental illness and more.
Four members of the group – Leah Clements, Elena Colman, Alice Hattrick and Lizzy Rose – will present film and artworks created before this period of research and development. This presentation is a point from which to think through how their work currently deals with crip themes, and to develop this visual and critical language.
Using In formation III as a platform to explore how best the group can work together, this also marks the beginning of a supportive exchange with the institution. The crip research group will further advance their work while in residence at Wysing Arts Centre in October.
This is a relaxed event. This means that if you tic, shout or move about, you’re more than welcome.
