The online talk and workshop series is imagined as a space to hear from and work with practitioners working at the intersections of art, disability, land and repair. We also organize a few book clubs in which we will dive deeper into crip environmentalism and related topics. The sessions are hosted by South African artist, writer and co-researcher Kopano Maroga (they/them).
