Crip Wisdom - New ways of working artistically

Not as a special case. Not as a participatory project. But as an artistic practice in its own right. In this workshop, we will explore the question of how art changes when we not only break down barriers, but completely redesign the rules of the game ourselves. And what can we learn from the concept of crip wisdom - knowledge that arises from living with disabilities: through improvisation, creativity, resilience, care structures and constantly navigating an often non-accessible world? A workshop for anyone who wants to be touched by new forms of artistic thinking.
