c.95d8 is a crip community space in Hong Kong dedicated to disability culture, accessibility, and contemporary art. Rooted in crip theory, c.95d8 creates spaces where crip artistic and cultural practices can emerge and flourish. It embraces crip time and provides an accessible environment that responds to the diverse needs of the crip community, serving as a gathering place for crip people in Hong Kong.
Since its founding, c.95d8 has organized Hong Kong’s first Crip Art Residency and exhibition programmes, reimagining crip not as a deficit but as a way of experiencing the world—a form of knowledge, an attitude, and a source of pride. Through exhibitions, performances, and participatory works, c.95d8 invites audiences to rethink bodily difference and explore vulnerability, interdependence, empathy, and collective strength.
c.95d8 has collaborated with leading cultural institutions and organizations including M+, Art Basel Hong Kong, the College Art Association (USA), Chiang Rai Contemporary Art Museum (Thailand), WMA, Eaton HK, and universities across Hong Kong. Through artistic practice and community engagement, c.95d8 continues to expand the possibilities of crip culture and foster more accessible and inclusive cultural futures.
What is Crip?
Crip is a reclaimed word and a shared cultural practice shaped by disabled, neurodivergent, chronically ill, and mad communities. It names ways of living, creating, resting, and supporting one another that do not treat productivity, independence, or speed as the only measures of value.
For c.95d8, Crip culture is a daily practice of access, interdependence, and imagination. It asks how art spaces can move at different rhythms, welcome different bodies and minds, and make room for care as part of public life.
