Cripping Masculinity in the Media:

Black text on an orange background reads: ‘With Cripping Masculinity, I wanted to create a community-led project that would interrupt and topple the stronghold of norm in fashion by centering Crip and Mad fashion experiences, understandings, and designs at the intersections of disability and masculinity rarely represented in education, research, activism, and the fashion industry.’  The Cripping Masculinity logo is in the bottom right corner, small yellow stars decorate the edges of the image.
A quote from the piece

Cripping Masculinity’s Research Assistant, Alexis De Villa (they/she/sikato), recently published ‘Introduction to Cripping Masculinity: Conversations Amongst a Research Collective’.

This written conversation between Alexis, Principal Investigator Ben Barry (he/him), and Research Assistant Kristina McMullin, (she/her) aims to provide an introductory peek into our project.

Inspired by bell hooks and Shawn Wilson, the written conversation builds intimacy and co-creation into the writing process.
