On the contrary, they carry a political weight that provides those who claim them with a powerful lever for emancipation, offering artists with disabilities non-normative ways to express the unique temporalities of their experience and to forge a path in the ableist art world. This dossier focuses on these efforts at social, political, and cultural transformation, examining how disabled and crip authors and artists address the various challenges they face.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eMontreal, Canada; 220mm x 290mm; 115 pages; Bilingual in French and English\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Esse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52048750215469,"sku":null,"price":15.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/4097\/3510\/files\/ScreenShot2026-05-08at3.04.06PM.png?v=1778266967","url":"https:\/\/issuesmagshop.com\/products\/esse-117","provider":"Issues Magazine Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
