The world isn’t designed for sick and disabled bodies. As the social model of disability tells us, it's the physical and attitudinal barriers in society that disable a person, not their impairment. Disabled artistic communities are finding their own creative interventions into cripping the art world, whether identifying new ways of supporting artists through curation, helping people process and reclaim their mental health through photography, or envisioning open tools and resources that raise awareness about chronic illness. As an act of reclaiming the term crip in disabled communities, the word refers to a desire to build disability inclusivity into society.
