About Sins Invalid:
Sins Invalid is a disability justice based performance and movement building project that celebrates artists with disabilities, centralizing artists of color and queer / trans / non-binary people as members of communities who have been historically marginalized. Conceived and led by disabled people of color, we currently house two programs:
(I) Our cultural program develops and presents cutting-edge work in which normative paradigms are challenged, offering instead a vision of justice and beauty inclusive of all individuals and communities. This program includes multidisciplinary home performances by people with disabilities for broad audiences; online performance screenings; performance workshops for community members with and without disabilities; IG and Facebook programmatic activities; distribution of our self-titled film through New Day Distributors; collaborations with other producers and creatives; and the creation of graphics which center the lives and experiences of disabled people of color and queer / trans / non-binary disabled people.
(II) Our movement building program offers political education workshops for community based organizations, foundation partners and educational organizations that share our commitment to social justice principles as a means of integrating analysis and action around Disability Justice; a Disability Justice primer entitled Skin Tooth and Bone – The Basis of Our Movement is our People; and strategic partnerships to uplift inclusion of disabled people of color and queer / trans / non-binary disabled people within a disability justice framework. Sins Invalid has recently launched a Language Justice Initiative, thus we use a language justice framework to promote just communication across languages.
