Exchange
Dissolving is a regular gathering for an exchange on crip-related topics. The focus lies on neurodivergent, chronically ill, and invisibly disabled perspectives. In a relaxed environment, we invite you to exchange ideas about (access-) needs and crip-specific organizational methods and aesthetics. We eagerly seek new connections and possibilities for action. The meetings are a mixture of the participants’ present topics and the topics prepared by Juliet and Wanda. Anyone who is interested is invited to participate in whatever way they can.
As part of Unrenewable Energies, we are exploring the topic of cross-community spaces. Two quotes from the publication “Skin, Tooth, and Bone” by Sins Invalid serve as a template for our exchange. The quotes are soon available here as a PDF.
