An exceptional catalogue in every respect: Published in an unusual format, it reflects the eponymous first museum exhibition centred on artists living with disabilities, complemented by an extended reader on the subject. "Crip Time" was the first museum exhibition to centre on artists living with disabilities. In their works, they call into question the norms and standards of capitalist society and explore who they benefit - and thereby exclude. The title refers to the idea of "crip time," developed by the American scholar Alison Kafer, which contends that people with disabilities need a different and more flexible sense of time in order to thrive.
