Cripping Performance II

Conversation organized by Maska Ljubljana
The discussion will be held in English. Admission is free.

Moderators Saša Asentić, Jaka Bombač
Guests Dalibor Šandor, Milesa Milinković

The first issue of Cripping Performance was co-edited by Saša Asentić, Pia Brezavšček.

A discussion accompanying the release of the new issue of Maska magazine will be dedicated to the theme of cripping performance. It will explore ways of thinking about the body, language, and performativity that respond to diverse needs, with an emphasis on accessibility and care.

Cripping Performance II is the second issue of Maska devoted to accessibility, as the co-editors* followed the concept of crip time (Kafer, 2013). In this way, some contributors were given the additional time they require due to different needs related to inclusion. Maska thus commits to creating a space that fosters knowledge, practice, and experience emerging from the lived experience of disabled people.

The new issue once again brings together contributions by neurodivergent, disabled, and Deaf artists, researchers, and activists, and is thematically divided into three subfields: crip epistemology, crip technique, and crip solidarity.

As part of the Maska Cripping Performance II conference program, the events also include the performances Pas Moi and Dis Lecture on Something Very Special.
