Its mission is ‘to publish a socially engaged magazine by addressing ethical reflections and the major changes that result.’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis latest issue, themed ‘Handi Crip’, examines the reappropriation of the term ‘crip’—an abbreviation of ‘cripple\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e’ and the French translation of ‘queer’—which has evolved beyond its stigmatised and diminutive origins to become a powerful tool of political empowerment, identity and artistic practice. Exploring how \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e‘crip\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e’ artists and writers navigate and express the unique challenges they face, this issue considers non-normative approaches to creativity, critiques ableist attitudes within art institutions—both in terms of accessibility and representation—and calls for greater visibility and recognition. Rather than proposing solutions, this issue of \u003cem\u003eEsse\u003c\/em\u003e seeks to contribute meaningful perspectives that generate necessary conversations and, ultimately, celebrate ‘crip joy’.
