Crip Climates:ÌýA Collaborative Syllabus for Disabled Ecologies

Ìý

Bringing together a panel of disability activists, academics, architects and designers, the Garden Museum and the 51ÇàÂ¥ Foundation collaborate on this event to discuss the relationship between disability, climate and space.

The systemic and urgent attention required to address climate change can be seen as rooted in disability discourse, in which disabled communities are both impacted and created through climatic changes. Crip Climates will look to the metaphoric and literal connections between the impairment, exploitation and violence directed towards both landscapes and bodies, creating both debility or disabled ecologies in the process.

Ìý
The event will be structured around co-producing a propositional syllabus for said disabled ecologies- asking the question, what do we need to learn about disabilities relationship to climate, land, urban health, infrastructures of care and the built environment.
