Cripping the Galleries | Matt Bodett

@ Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago

220 E Chicago Ave, Chicago, IL 60611

Opening Saturday, August 16th, from 2PM - 3:30PM

Cripping the Galleries is a collaborative series between the Art Institute of Chicago and Bodies of Work featuring local artists activating museums through the lens of crip* culture and access. This summer, artist and director of the Center for Mad Culture, Matt Bodett, leads an interactive writing workshop in response to artwork in the MCA galleries.

* Crip as a noun is pejorative, reclaimed by disabled people who embrace it as an outsider identity with an edge. To crip or cripping as a verb means to expose oppressive systems of normalcy and to imagine a world otherwise.
