Map Introduction
Please join us in creating a map of disability history and culture in Chicago! In Spring 2024, DCC’s Diversity Community Engagement Program (DCEP) interns, Sunny & Dorian, built out an amazing project called Cripping the Map: A People’s History of Disability in Chicago. Our current approach is building out the map, digitally archiving disabled stories and making this knowledge publically available.
Nothing About Us Without Us —
We’re building a public, crowd sourced digital map by and for disabled/mad/crip Chicago to honor our culture and histories. We have always been here: remember and honor overlooked disability histories and cultures
Harness Collective Memory, Learn More & Put Your Story on the Map —
Share everyday stories of disabled joy, grief, rage, resistance, rest tied to how we experience this city; our lives speak truth to power!
