du 20/07/2015 au 30/08/2015
"Celebrate, agitate, generate! Artists mark the 25th Anniversary of the ADA with more deformity than in Bradley Cooper's worst nightmares. This revolution will not be telethon-ised, you have to see it live!"
—Mat Fraser, curator of CripFest
CripFest, a day long Festival celebrating disabled artists on the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
This event is presented by CripFest. BAM house at BAM Fisher in Brooklyn.
Mat Fraser (American Horror Story) curates this all-day festival celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Professional disabled artists present performance, visual art and video works with celebration, agitation, and Cripsploitation—while reclaiming their identities as part of a larger movement of creative artists who are reshaping the notion of disability in our world, away from the inaccurate performances of disability on Broadway. In Fraser's own words, “CripFest will explode the condescending do-gooder myths around disability, showing the dangerous, transgressive, and amazing work of some of the most radical and exciting artists in the UK and US.”
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law on July 26, 1990. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) will turn twenty-five on July 26, 2015.
