"The world of reality has its limits; the world of imagination is boundless."- Jean Jacques Rousseau
In this collaborative session, prepare to lift off and be whisked into a universe where all people don't merely survive, but flourish. In the first half of this session, our Crip the Lit writers will share pieces of writing utilising radical crip imagination that challenges an ableist world, then our navigators will engage you, the audience, in your own world building adventure. New Zealand Sign Language interpreted. Featuring: Alice Mander, Andi Buchanan, Bee Trudgeon, Charlotte Simmonds, Erin Donohue, and Helen Vivienne Fletcher.
This event is programmed by Crip the Lit, who advocate for Deaf and disabled writers having their unique voices, perspectives and stories included and valued in mainstream writing. Formed in 2016 by Trish Harris and Robyn Hunt, Crip the Lit challenges stereotypes so that disability is represented and celebrated as part of the richness and diversity of humanity in all genres of literature, and in film, television and video.
