2022-2023 marks the inaugural year of the the Crip* x Bodies of Work Residency Exchange, funded by the Cripping the Arts presidential initiative at University of Illinois-Chicago and University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign. This residency is currently by invitation only.
In 2022-2023, three fellows from Chicago and two from Urbana- Champaign will be participating in this year-long virtual residency exchange focused on "cripping" spaces and highlighting issues of accessibility through the creation of place-based crip narratives. The residency will also center on the creation of archival works depicting disability art and culture, as well as interacting with existing archival materials.
