Shayda Kafai
Harvard Book Store's virtual event series welcomes SHAYDA KAFAI—assistant professor of Gender and Sexuality Studies at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona—for a discussion of her book Crip Kinship: The Disability Justice and Art Activism of Sins Invalid. She will be joined in conversation by community organizer and culture worker LILAC VYLETTE MALDONADO and artist and writer VANESSA DURAND.
In recent years, disability activism has come into its own as a vital and necessary means to acknowledge the power and resilience of the disabled community, and to call out ableist culture wherever it appears.
Crip Kinship explores the art-activism of Sins Invalid, a San Francisco Bay Area-based performance project, and its radical imaginings of what disabled, queer, trans, and gender nonconforming bodyminds of color can do: how they can rewrite oppression, and how they can gift us with transformational lessons for our collective survival.
Grounded in their Disability Justice framework, Crip Kinship investigates the revolutionary survival teachings that disabled, queer of color community offers to all our bodyminds. From their focus on crip beauty and sexuality to manifesting digital kinship networks and crip-centric liberated zones, Sins Invalid empowers and moves us toward generating our collective liberation from our bodyminds outward.
