Feels Zine: The Disability Issue

Our minds, bodies, and spirits are remarkable, diverse, and complex. The journeys we each take within ourselves are so personal, yet are always crossing paths with one another. What does it mean to have a disability? To be sick? How does ableism impact our experiences? How do we build community? How does all of this intersect and evolve? Touch the transcendental?

In Issue 23, we explore feelings and experiences from a disability lens. Companionship with an old, tough-as-nails cat. A set of glow-in-the-dark stars on a childhood bedroom ceiling. The art of networking with a mask. A hospital chapel. A theatre; backstage. Exploring art practices. Love. Joy. Laughter. Desire. Spoons.

Interviews with jes sachse on the art world, community, and ageing in a disabled body, and Seán Kinsella on the impact of colonialism on disability, meaningful representation, and celebrating pleasure. Find all of this and more in our Disability issue.
