Its contributions invite us to “communicate with the invisible,” in the words of Guadeloupean writer Maryse Condé in her novel “I, Tituba, Black Witch of Salem.” It is a matter of conjuring away oblivion and erasure: to revive connections and lineage, something both familiar and held in common, so as to find strength, protection, guidance and, perhaps, healing.With texts and visual contributions by: Malala Andrialavidrazana, Yasmine Belhadi, Massabielle Brun, Neringa Bumblienė, Miryam Charles, Barbara Chase Riboud, Guillaume Désanges, Alexis Pauline Gumbs, Rebecca Hall \u0026amp; Hugo Martínez, Liz Johnson Artur, Isis Labeau Caberia, Simone Lagrand, LeRhonda S.

From the 1970s to the present day, these perspectives have interrogated the foundations of North American and Western European societies, crystallised around ideals of speed, autonomy, performance, and hyperproductivity. Each contribution exposes the mechanisms of ableism that establish a hierarchy between bodies. Together, they remind us that the supposed able-bodiedness on which this system rests is anything but permanent. From poetry to archival materials, essays to visual artworks, they reclaim a place for bodies and beings that have been historically erased, heavily stigmatised, and that the present continues to push out of futures to come. Problematising the status quo of sociality, disability cultures emerge as a critical force. They open up new perspectives and aesthetics, adapting cultural practices and methods to fit our realities, rather than the other way around. In doing so, they shift norms, push the limits of representation, and imagine futures attuned to the impermanence of bodies, states, and environments.* Texts and visual contributions by Panteha Abareshi, Salomé Burstein, Lucie Camous, Étienne Chosson, Eulalie Combe, Rosemarie Garland-Thomson, Arthur Gillet, Joseph Grigely, Diane Maroger, No Anger, Benoît Piéron, Cheryl Marie Wade, Emily Watlington* This issue is published on the occasion of a new season of exhibitions at the Palais de Tokyo (03.04 – 13.09 2026), in particular Joseph Grigely’s solo show “This Is Where We Are,” Benoît Piéron’s solo show “Shadow Polish,” as well as the group show “Cheryl Marie Wade, the Queen-Mother of Gnarly,” curated by Lucie Camous and Étienne Chosson, based onan unfinished documentary by Diane Maroger (with: Panteha Abareshi, John Lee Clark, Tarik Dobbs, Noa Micaela Fields, Joseph Grigely, Carolyn Lazard, Diane Maroger, Park McArthur, Saleem Hue Penny).","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57492193476981,"sku":"9782847111538","price":7.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"this-is-where-we-are","title":"This Is Where We Are","description":"For the past three decades, Joseph Grigely’s work, as an artist, scholar, and activist, has reframed the disabled body as an enabled body by empowering it to question who has access to what, who is denied access to spaces, places, and people, and how this impacts all of us.This artist’s book by Joseph Grigely brings together his research, ideas and thoughts, as well as visual materials, on access ramps and his stairs\/ramp (what is called a “stramp”) project designed for a space at the Palais de Tokyo as part of his solo exhibition This Is Where We Are. How does access become a responsibility for everyone so that it benefits everyone, and not just those who are deemed “disabled”? This publication, which contains an essay by Grigely on why designing a ramp is so difficult, explores the concept of accessibility, particularly through the architecture of spaces, and proposes rethinking the idea of access as a medium.Risograph-printed in 6 colors (aqua, black, blue, red, teal, yellow) and bound in the publishing workshop of the Palais de Tokyo.
