The Word On The Street presents Diaspora Dialogues: In Conversation with Shayda Kafai & Amanda Leduc
Join us for a fascinating conversation with Shayda Kafai and Amanda Leduc as they explore disability justice and activism through their works Crip Kinship and Disfigured: On Fairy Tales, Disability, and Making Space. Kafai 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 colour can do. Leduc looks at fairy tales from the Brothers Grimm to Disney, showing us how they influence our expectations and behaviour and linking the quest for disability rights to new kinds of stories that celebrate differences.
This panel will stream live Sunday, September 26 at 10:00am ET.
