Call Us CRIPtic

Igniting disabled excellence across the arts

Call Us CRIPtic is a documentary about CRIPtic Arts’ 2021 Barbican Showcase, the artists, and the organisation made by the fantastic Fig Films, and you can watch it here or on Vimeo:

We made the documentary in order to explore the context of the work we make. What does it mean to be disabled people, to be creating disability arts, and to be doing it at a major institution. We wanted to understand what our artists wanted, needed, and thought – and we wanted people to see the beauty and scope of their work.

Making it made us realise how much there is to be proud of as disabled artists – and how much there is for us to be celebrating. It showed us the diversity, value, and power of our community, and is a roadmap for the future.

Featuring Jamie Hale, Miss Jacqui, Oli Isaac, Alice Christina Corrigan, MC Geezer, Flawbored, Deaf Rave, and the wider cast of people who came together to develop our show, it is a time capsule of what it meant to be making the work we make, in that moment.
