Queer Crip Craft Library Opening Event including Performance Thursday, November 3, 2022, 4:15 pm est Peeler Art Center, Visual Arts GalleryCome to Peeler to watch a performance of “The Spoon Factory” by Professor Sarah Cowan’s Histories of Performance Art class and stay for a long table discussion hosted by the artist, Betsy Redelman Díaz, on the queer crip craft library exhibition as it relates to disability, queerness, intersectionality, and craft more broadly. A democratic spin on a panel discussion, the long table is an experimental public forum that co-opts the atmosphere of a dinner party to facilitate casual and intimate conversation on complex topics, blurring the line between audience and performer. This is a participatory, discussion-based event and we look forward to hearing your experiences, questions and impressions. Accessibility: ASL interpretation will be provided for this event.
