Disability pride and joy in an ableist world
Marlene Krubner collected testimonials of disability joy to show how disabled people can find joy in things in an ableist world. There is a fine line between ‘overcoming disability’-vibes and disability pride. As Marlene said: “We have similar experiences, even people with completely different types of disabilities. Somehow that connects us, and that's a big part of disability pride and disability joy.” She also led an art workshop for disabled people called “Between joy and rage” to explore disability joy and rage as a response to ableism artistically.
I collect testimonials of disability joy through interviews and an art workshop, to show how disabled people can find joy in things in an ableist world. There is a fine line between ‘overcoming disability’-vibes and disability pride. We have similar experiences, even people with completely different disabilities. That connects us and is a big part of disability pride and joy.
