Towards a Crip-Ethics: Explorations of Embodied and Embedded Digital Storytelling
Re•Vision, an assemblage of multimedia story- and arts-based research projects, works creatively and collaboratively to advance social well-being and justice. Drawing from videos made by Canadian healthcare providers in disability-led workshops, we investigate the potential of disability arts to disrupt dominant conceptions of personhood that cast disabled embodiments as inherently vulnerable and dependent against the striving-for-autonomous, inv…
Differences as potentials: A posthuman re-envisioning of disability and mobility
Drawing on a posthuman onto-epistemology, this paper explores movements of bodies labelled-as-disabled as creative 'choreographies' that are coproduced through the coming together of multiple material, social, discursive and affective forces across time-spaces. The purpose is to challenge thinking as usual towards re-envisioning differences as potentials rather than deficits. To do so, we consider how disability can move deficit-thinking and how …
In the wake of canada’s violent eugenic legacies: An urgency to ReVision Fitness
Eugenics is often misunderstood as a historical set of practices that mobilized outside of Canada and ended after World War II. Less is known about canada’s influence on and participation in the practices/ideologies/movement, and even less about how contemporary fitness practices continue to be tethered to eugenics. ReVisioning Fitness aims to counter/refuse eugenic-infused fitness regimes designed to eliminate ‘unfit’ people, by centring the liv…
Towards Decolonial Choreographies of Co-Resistance
This article engages movement as a methodology for understanding the creative coalition work that we carried out for a project series called Into the Light (ITL) that used research from university archives to mount a museum exhibition and then develop an interactive public education site that counters histories and ongoing realities of colonial eugenics and their exclusionary ideas of what it means to be human in Canada's educational institutions…
Elements of a counter-exhibition: Excavating and countering a Canadian history and legacy of eugenics
Into the Light, a recently mounted collectively curated museum exhibition, exposed and countered histories and legacies of 20th-century "race betterment" pedagogies taught in Ontario's postsecondary institutions that targeted some groups of people, including Anishinaabe, Black, and other racialized populations, and disabled and poor people, with dehumanizing ideas and practices. This article advances understandings of the transformative potential…
The Dancing Body: Hopping Anyone
How can the body which is constantly changing inspire understanding about life and about knowledge? I am inspired by memories of seeing and participating in dance that felt inclusive. These memories remind me that dance can be a gift, to both the participant and the observer, of a sense of freedom, agency and collective. The left wing modern dance movement in New York, toyi-toyi from the South African anti-apartheid movement, and radical cheerlea…
