Festival Lounge Offerings｜Crip Time Workshop
Join us at the Festival Lounge during the Asian Avant-Garde Film Festival 2025 for Crip Time Workshop led by c.95d8.
If each person has a ‘body clock’, how do they differ? This workshop led by c.95d8 invites participants to reflect on and expand the concept of ‘crip time’ through a creative and collaborative exploration of disability art practices. Formed in 2022 by Hong Kong friends Yeung Siu-fong, Thisby Cheng, and Bomb Lam, c.95d8 is a collective that focuses on the experiences of artists with disabilities. Reclaiming the word ‘crip’, short for ‘cripple’, as a term of empowerment, their work challenges conventional perceptions of time and ability.
In this workshop, c.95d8 will demonstrate the concept of crip time as a way to resist the pressures of rigid, ableist notions of time, especially in the fast-paced context of Hong Kong, and will invite participants to rethink their relationships with time and each other. Drawing from Professor Ellen Samuels’ essay Six Ways of Looking at Crip Time, c.95d8 will also explore how this concept can be contextualised and expanded within an Asian cultural framework.
