A unique magazine about and by people suffering from chronic illness and/or disability, Sick aims to challenge the harmful stereotypes and misconceptions surrounding disability through essays, features, poetry, art and interviews. Beautifully illustrated throughout.
Topics in issue #6 delve into topics such as: resting as an act of resistance, collective grief and an honest piece by Jen Deerinwater on being queer, disabled and native.
