Project Title
Crip Monologues: Multi-marginalized storytelling
Project Description
The overall vision for the project is to create a public storytelling platform and self-sustaining expansion model through university centers on disabilities and student groups. Beginning with popular education and praxis-based artistic expression, recruits with diverse backgrounds and disabilities will participate in sex education workshops and create their own “crip monologue”. Guiding thoughts for the workshops include: What happens when we unearth and communicate our truths? How does the definition of intimacy change given your disability? What does sexual, somatic, and medical consent look like? Overall workshops will borrow from the existing Unhushed and Safe Austin’s, My Right, My Life, disability sex education lesson plans.
