NEA Big Read - Crip Camp Screening & Discussion

Presented by Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati and The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County at Deer Park Branch - Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County

Join Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati at Cincinnati Public Library’s Deer Park Branch for a screening of the documentary Crip Cramp, about the 1970s experience of teenagers with disabilities who met at Camp Jened and turned their summers of liberation and inclusion into a movement for Disability Rights.

Prior to the screening, attendees will learn more about CHPL’s Next Gen Library plans to expand access in libraries across Cincinnati and Hamilton County, as well as ETC’s current accessible performing arts opportunities. Following the film, we will discuss ableism and access in modern cultural institutions, such as CHPL and ETC.

This event is part of the National Endowment for the Arts Big Read: Greater Cincinnati 2022-2023, focusing on the book Sitting Pretty: The View From My Ordinary Resilient Disabled Body by activist Dr. Rebekah Taussig.

NEA Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest.
