Making crip feminism with angels’ hands: A manifesto (of ambivalence)
Po‐Han Lee et al.
What the paper says
This manifesto explores the intersections of crip feminism, disability activism and queer politics, articulating a collective vision of resistance, solidarity and reimagined futures for people with physical disabilities, particularly disabled women. Our work challenges mechanisms that marginalise non-normative bodies through poetic expression and critical reflection, advocating for self-determination, accessibility and intimate citizenship. Drawing on the lived experiences and sociopolitical activism of Chien-Ju Chou, Chun-Chieh Lin and Ya-Wen Huang, the manifesto highlights the struggles against structural and everyday exclusions compounded by ableism and hetero-patriarchy while emphasising the consciousness of ‘co-dependency’ as both a principle and a praxis within feminist and disability justice movements. By centring these women’s voices and their agency in knowledge production, the manifesto resists the ableist tendency to objectify disability and instead fosters transformative politics rooted in mutual care. Ultimately, it asserts crip feminism as both a theoretical framework and an embodied practice of reclaiming space and authorship for disabled communities.
