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.
Hosted by: Kylo Thomas

Access information: The Pleasance Cabaret Bar is fully wheelchair accessible with an accessible toilet.
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.
