Crip: An Exhibition

💠 The "Crip Art Residency" project is a practice of disability-experience-based "Crip Art," transforming the lived experiences of disability into artistic creations through deep discussion and reflection. ↪ While minority arts like queer or subcultures have been widely discussed in recent years, Crip Art has remained noticeably absent from the contemporary art scene. Through this residency, we aim to shift the narrative from "disability as a weakness" to viewing it as a unique creative resource and theme, expanding the spectrum of contemporary art while re-representing disability.

Crip: An Exhibition

Disability Art Residency Exhibition

"Crip" used to be under the name of “disabled (殘疾)” in the Chinese language. This exhibition sees a new possibility of reclaiming Crip in the context as ䷪ kyut3 (夬), the 43rd hexagram of I-Ching. Whereas 夬 bears a meaning of being damaged, ䷪ is the hexagram of breakthrough. 夬, a root of multiple Chinese characters – 決 玦 訣 抉 缺, generates diverse understandings and infinite potentials amongst imperfections.
