Imagine a world moved by abolition and crip care, where mutual aid and transformative practice shatter a carceral medical industrial complex, prisons, and locked wards. Bringing to life objects, artefacts, sights, and sounds, this panel invites a group of queer disabled activists to discuss what disability justice means to them, and how, together, we might build a world which isn’t just liveable for some, but irresistible for all. This event is part of the project Doing Disability Futures.
Hosted by: Kylo Thomas

Some parts of the seating space within the venue area are not wheelchair accessible/have some step access.

We will have a separate room available if you need to take a break or have a quiet space. This is in another part of the building and is accessible by stairs and/or a lift.
Photographs will be taken at the event. If you would prefer not to have your photograph taken, please tell us and we will communicate this with the photographer.
COVID safety information: the venues we're using are ventilated, have HEPA air filters, and CO2 monitors (to measure air quality) - but that doesn't make them totally COVID, flu or common-cold safe. We'll have free masks available and request that masks are worn where possible. Got a cough, cold, or flu-like symptoms? Please take a break until your symptoms have subsided: many of us in our communities have to do everything we can not to get sick, including those of us with disabilities or compromised immune systems.
