Crip Times Episode 6: The Jess Watkin Episode
Episode Notes “It was interdependent magic. Like it really felt like magic.” Happy solstice! They’re the four best friends anyone could have. On the last Crip Times episode of 2020, all three hosts (Kayla, Kristina, Yousef) are joined by Jess Watkin, an artist, activist, academic, dramaturg, and most importantly, friend of the pod.  We spend some time laughing about how we all became friends through our various crip encounters, access intimacy, and what Jess’ work as an artist and disability dramaturg actually entails. Jess speaks about her upcoming projects, and the legacies of interdependence that brought her to the place she is today. This episode ends with Jess’ dreams for the future of performance, with suggestions we could all bring into our 2021 plans.  We’ll be back with new episodes of Crip Times on January 11 until then, thank you for allowing us to share these episodes with you, they really feel like magic.  For a full transcript of this episode, as well as helpful links and key quotes, visit the Bodies in Translation Website:  https://bodiesintranslation.ca/crip-times-a-podcast-series/

Crip Times Episode 5: The Jeff Thomas Episode
Episode Notes This week, Kayla and Yousef are joined by Jeff Thomas, a Governor General Award-winning Indigenous photographer. Jeff provides us with some background on his photographic work which began in the 1970s as a response to the representation of Indigenous people through historical photography, and how it has grown and changed since becoming disabled. Jeff talks about turning photographs used for propaganda into tools of revitalization, and how he’s trying to continue the storytelling tradition in his family, blending this with new technologies such as 3D scanning and drones. In his work Indians on Tour, Jeff explains how he plays with Indigenous presence where it wouldn’t otherwise be visible, by photographing miniature figurines all over the world.

Crip Times Episode 4: The Cindy Baker Episode
Episode Notes “The piece is an opportunity for me to let the public see an artist who is working hard at resisting the impulse to work hard.” This week, Yousef and Kristina are joined by Cindy Baker, a contemporary artist whose work engages with queer, gender, race, disability, fat, and art discourses. We recorded this episode in the summer, but we think you’ll find it really speaks to the end-of-2020 burnout that many of us are collectively experiencing.  Cindy describes herself as feeling ‘wobbly’—how relatable. She tells us about her work “Crash Pad,” how she resists the notion of productivity, and how the pandemic has brought to light some things that disabled folks have been advocating for for years. The conversation ends with a reminder that self-indulgence is something that can only ever be positive.  As a content, the episode contains a brief mention of Cindy being abducted as a child from minute 38:00 to 41:00.  For a full transcript of this episode, as well as helpful links and key quotes, visit the Bodies in Translation Website:  https://bodiesintranslation.ca/crip-times-a-podcast-series/

Crip Times Episode 3: The Ben Barry Episode
Episode Notes Everybody gets dressed—but how can fashion be a tool of social justice? This week, Kayla and Kristina sit down with Dr. Ben Barry, Chair of Fashion at Ryerson University. We talk about how we can imagine fashion beyond ‘the ideal body,’ how Ben and others are working to diversify fashion education, and how we can crip fashion, meaning create desirable clothes made by and for disabled people. We speak about how a co-created relaxed fashion show came together through education and Instagram prowess, how Ben’s current research project, Cripping Masculinity, has adapted during COVID-19, and how access to fashion is access to life: to employment, community, desire, and safety. Ben talks about who he looks to in fashion justice leadership. We wrap up this conversation by noting how joy is found both when we take off our shoes, and when our institutions make systemic change.  Curl up with your favourite quarantine attire, and prepare to ask yourself some deep questions about how and why we all wear what we do.  For a full transcript of this episode, as well as helpful links and key quotes, visit the Bodies in Translation Website:  https://bodiesintranslation.ca/crip-times-a-podcast-series/
