Discover new takes on disabled characters from history and fiction. What have disabled writers always wanted to say to them? Crip the Lit writers share light-hearted - or maybe not so light-hearted - and generally irreverent reflections and advice addressed to their favourite characters on their disability representation. Feat: Robyn Hunt, Etta Bollinger, Rem Wigmore, Andi Buchanan, Erin Donohue and Al Gray, with host Elizabeth Heritage.
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. New Zealand Sign Language interpreted.
Please note that the venue for this event has changed since the programme went to print.
