Panel Discussion #1: Toxic Space/s: Illustrating Eco-Crip Theory

This panel aims to delve into some of the artist practices represented in the Crip Ecologies exhibition and consider how their work illustrates the concept of “eco-crip theory.”  The eco-crip theory put forward by scholars Sarah Jacquette Ray and Jay Sibara in their book Disability Studies and the Environmental Humanities: Toward an Eco-Crip Theory, published in 2017, has inspired thinking for this exhibition.

Each artist will give a ten minute presentation on their work by sharing their screen on Zoom.  This will be followed by a Q&A led by moderator and curator of the Crip Ecologies exhibition Amanda Cachia.
