We invite participants to ride the unruly/unexpected/fantastic undercurrents of crip time[1] with us and create other collective imaginaries for interfacing with crip time that counter the universalist assumption that all bodies and minds experience time and space similarly.[2] Compulsory techno-capitalist paradigms of time-efficiency,[3] consistent and seamless labor performance and presumed able-bodiedness pattern time structures that are inaccessible for many people. [4][5] Ren Britton writes: "My bodymind is expected to move quickly, to keep up with turbo capitalist computational clock time that counts to the millisecond."[6]

  1. The phrase ‘crip time’ comes from feminist, queer, and disability scholar Alison Kafer and refers to the imperative for a new way of understanding time in a way that acknowledges different lived realities. Alison Kafer, Feminist, Queer, Crip, Indiana University Press, 2013.
