Crip鈥檇 Ecologies: Unfurling Expanded Environments

Feb 01, 2024 - Mar 10, 2024

In our current moment with no shortage of grief and resistance, Crip鈥檇 Ecologies centers disabled artists across race, gender, class and disability, who are expanding ideas of environmentalism toward a more complex reflection of our feelings of trauma, fear, anger and desire. Crip strategies are dynamic, interdependent, and brilliant. These strategies are expressed throughout the exhibition and Convening, offering new perspectives on landscapes that are personal, shared, participatory, hacked, and imagined. Each of these relational ways of being and thinking include our body-mind-spirits. The works here break away from colonial ableisms of the land and our bodies. They challenge where the idea of 鈥渋nvasive鈥 species comes from, and find joy and ancestral connections by treating the entirety of our surroundings as part of our nature. Multispecies relationships abound, and are echoed in Crip queer and tactile ecologies, imprinting on leaves, bodies filled with flowering branches, memory, sacredness, sorrow, and abundantly colorful depictions of plants, animals and the atmosphere and planets. The environment, increasingly synonymous with 鈥渢he built world鈥, is playfully and spaciously reimagined and challenged throughout the exhibition to unfurl Crip鈥檇 ecological intimacies.
