SinsInvalid: A performance project that incubates and celebrates artists with disabilities, centralizing artists of color and queer and gender-variant artists as communities who have been historically marginalized.
Intersectionality is a term coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw, which describes how a person’s various marginalized identities work together to impact a person. For example, if someone is working class and has a disability, the combination of both factors together shape a person’s life experiences. As Crenshaw put it:
Intersectionality is a lens through which you can see where power comes and collides, where it interlocks and intersects. It’s not simply that there’s a race problem here, a gender problem here, and a class or LBGTQ problem there. Many times that framework erases what happens to people who are subject to all of these things
