SINS INVALID
"Our grief is full of rage. It is a portal to new worlds where the ashes of loss become the fertile ground on which we bloom. Together, interdependent."
Queer Disability Justice performance project SINS INVALID honors the passing of their co-founder Patty Berne with this free digital streaming of their 2024 performance Stages of Grief: Crip Hearts on Fire.
"Through scenes of crip rage, joy, and grief, our performers offer testimony to survival, love, and collective power in a world on fire. From climate chaos to systemic ableism, from our sacred grief to our revolutionary visions of liberation, this performance is both an offering and a call to action."

"As I glimpse the world, a world literally on fire, with bloodshot eyes, and a tear that makes a trail down my cheek. The things I see today
I thought I would never see.
Emergency alerts that we can't access.
Evacuation plans that don't include us.
Shelters that aren't equipped for our needs.
Who the fuck
gives you the right
to decide
the value
of a life?"
