Disability Arts Online launches new archive to preserve disability history

Cripping Culture: A Journey into Disability Arts Heritage is a project funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund that will research and reveal the achievements of the disabled artists and activists who put disability rights on the map, from the late 1970s onwards. (Cripping, like queering, uses a reclaimed word to apply a disability lens to culture.) Over three years, Disability Arts Online will collect memories from people involved in the Disability Arts movement, capturing previously untold stories and shedding new light on key moments in its history.
