From Richard III to Captain Hook to Dune's Baron Harkonnen, disabled and disability-coded villains have captivated and repulsed us. Can we find pride in the monstrous, or was ableism the real monster all along? Join us for some evil monologues as local disabled writers explore villains from literature, theatre, and screen. Feat. Andi C. Buchanan, Casey Lucas, Alice Mander, Erin Donohue, Rem Wigmore and Anna Kirtlan. NZSL interpreters at this event.
This event is programmed by Crip the Lit, who advocate for Deaf and disabled writers of Aotearoa 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.
