The world is a wound

About the publication: How are crip and disabled communities organizing towards Palestinian Liberation? This publication illuminates the enmeshment of Palestinian Liberation and Disability Justice in an assemblage of poetic, pragmatic, and powerful contributions. Following an open call in the spring of 2024, “The World is a Wound” is a collection of crip wisdom. It brings together specially created texts, poems, and illustrations by crip/disabled/mad/neurodivergent activists, as well as existing research materials by crip and/or Palestinian writers (extracts from articles, poems, and zines). The genocide against Palestinians in Gaza and in the other illegally occupied territories has been described as a mass-disabling event. How do our aching, exhausted, and disabled bodies contribute to the struggle for Palestinian Liberation? We will need to scale up radical care and mutual aid, to weave into the tapestry of a free Palestine. How can crip/ chronically ill/neurodiverse/mad perspectives offer these critical survival skills?
This publication is an offering to crip/chronically ill/ neurodiverse/mad folks and others: it holds calls to action as well as our exhaustion, gentle attempts at healing, care and courage. Upcoming events: email taraxacum.officinale@systemli.org to be kept informed or to get involved.
