Cripping Performance II

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

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

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

The debate upon the publication of the latest issue of Maska will be dedicated to the topic of Cripping Performance. It will discuss ways of thinking about the body, language and performativity that respond to different needs, with an emphasis on accessibility and care.  

Cripping Performance II is the second issue of Maska devoted to accessibility because the co-editors* followed the concept of crip time (Kafer 2013). Thus, some contributors followed a more flexible timeline, one that allowed them additional time in relation to their specific needs. Maska thus commits to creating a space that fosters knowledge, practice and experience emerging from the lived experience of disabled people.

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

In collaboration with Maska Ljubljana and the Platform of Contemporary Dance, Zavod MOJA KREACIJA, Maribor.
