Crip Magazine is a self-published magazine project initiated by artist Eva Egermann. It explores forms of representation that oppose the conditions of normality/abnormality. The magazine is released on an irregular basis; the first issue was published in January 2012, while the second followed in May 2017.Together with a presentation of past issues and related projects, a new edition of Crip Magazine will be produced collaboratively throughout the course of Bergen Assembly 2019.
Crip Magazine comprises theoretical as well as artistic contributions on subjects such as crip pop culture, the history and presence of radical crip movements, and subcultural, left and queer contexts of disability. It assembles cultural artefacts of a trans-historical crip (sub)culture, visual activism and crip art resources. Its contributions deal with pain, opening up a transformative perspective on dis/abled body issues and bodily relations. Crip Magazine embraces historical struggles, aiming to create trans-temporary connections and communities across time.
