Krip-Hop Nation: March 5, 2022
The Poetry Center, together with the Paul K. Longmore Institute on Disability, presents Krip-Hop Nation, a worldwide association of artists with disabilities. In addition to founder Leroy F. Moore Jr. and co-founder Keith Jones, this event presents three outstanding artists affiliated with Krip-Hop Nation — Toni Hickman, DJ Quad, and Wheelchair Sports Camp — joining in performance and conversation. Dr. Dawn-Elissa Fischer, who writes and consults about popular culture, policy and political activism with a focus on antiracism, social media and education in a global context, kindly joins the program as moderator. Founded in 2007 by Leroy F. Moore Jr. in Berkeley, California, the Krip-Hop Nation movement campaigns for equality for people with disabilities worldwide, with concerts, tours, workshops and much more. In 2020, four Krip-Hop Nation artists received Emmy Award accolades for Outstanding Music Direction on the Paralympic documentary film Rising Phoenix.
One of many events taking place from March–July 2022 in conjunction with the Poetry Coalition under the collective heading "The future lives in our bodies": Poetry & Disability Justice, with thanks to The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and Ford Foundation for support of Poetry Coalition programming.
