Crip Your World

Crip Your World! In this amazing performance experience, disabled, sick, Deaf, and crazy queer and/or 2POC artists took audiences on an extraordinary journey into our bodies’ genius through sexy, complicated, life-saving, and deeply needed stories. Experientially sacred and divine, these artists spoke to us about the revolutionary nature of disability.
