Disability Art on Lockdown with Robert McRuer
ACCESS NOTE: Due to a technical error, the live ASL interpretation was not recorded when panelists shared their screens. We are very sorry for this error and how it may exclude Deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers; we are working to make sure this issue does not happen in any future recordings at the School. ABOUT: On Wednesday, March 24th, 2021, Dr. Ricky Varghese, the Tanis Doe Postdoctoral Fellow at the School of Disability Studies hosted an online talk with Dr. Robert McRuer, "Disability Art on Lockdown." Respondents included Jack Hawk and Sean Lee from Tangled Gallery in Toronto. "Disability Art on Lockdown" attends to disabled ways of knowing, or cripistemologies, that have been particularly useful for navigating the global economic, political, and health crises we are facing. This title has a double valence, gesturing first towards the ways in which disability and art have been, increasingly, on lockdown (facing massive cuts from governments everywhere), even before 2020. Second, however, the title points to some of the amazing ways that crip art was generated during the lockdown of 2020.
