DIGITAL LIBRARY


Since we began recording most of our events in 2024, we have archived a selection of them in our Digital Library. Soon, we will launch Cripple Shorts—mini documentary-style videos featuring disabled artists and designers.

Any upcoming programming will be announced in the New News section and on our Instagram. 

Our Digital Library archive is hosted on our YouTube channel. All future video-based content will be available at the following link:

Cripple is a publishing initiative founded by Emily Sara as an extension of her art, design, writing, and educational practice.

Additional code support for this website has been provided by Mariah Barden Jones who is available for design work and can be found at seahorsegirl.world. Original logo design of cripple was created by Mia Navarro, in 2020. Mia is also available for design work and can be found at mianavarro.com
Image description, alt text embedded: The cripple logo. A neon green rectangle holds a thick, bold black letter C at its center. The letter is irregular, with frayed breaks in its stroke that resemble two mouths opening at either end—or perhaps two claws. It echoes the original cripple logo by disabled designer Mia Navarro, carrying a similarly eerie, unsettling presence. A counternarrative to the trope of the “model” disabled person—the one who doesn’t make a fuss and who is easy to look at, digest. It recognizes our disabled lineage within the landscapes of horror as well as the freak show. The word cripple sits adjacent to the bottom right of the C. The descenders on the p’s extend slightly too long, like a pair of crutches.
Image description, alt text embedded: The first iteration of the cripple logo of 2020. It is of a neon green rectangle with black, thin and wonky lettering that spells out the word cripple. It was designed by Mia Navarro and feels a bit eerie and unsettling. The letters were created using steel wire, photography, and digital drawing.
