Esse arts + opinions is published three times a year. It's a contemporary art magazine covering a wide range of art practices, including visual arts, performance arts, and digital arts, and all forms of socially engaged, site-specific, and performative intervention. In this issue: Handi Crip While "handi" and "crip" (derived from cripple, meaning "disabled") are diminutives of stigmatizing words, their meaning is anything but reductive. On the contrary, they carry a political weight that provides those who claim them with a powerful lever for emancipation, offering artists with disabilities non-normative ways to express the unique temporalities of their experience and to forge a path in the ableist art world. This dossier focuses on these efforts at social, political, and cultural transformation, examining how disabled and crip authors and artists address the various challenges they face.
