# Event Details

- **Event Name**: The Politics of Disabled Joy
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 27 Sep, 2026 at 02:00 pm – Sun, 27 Sep, 2026 at 03:00 pm (+13:00)
- **Event Description**: Inhabiting a mind or body that society often refuses to accommodate is a life's work. Fighting the prejudices that make that difficult is an act of political rebellion, one that is capable of unleashing great joy.

Join Deaf and disabled writers for readings and kōrero that will annihilate the ableist tropes between them and their good times. Emcee Olivia Shivas (editor of The D*List) will lead a panel including writer/librarians Riah Tahana-Dawson (Ngāti Kurī, Ngāti Waikato-Tainui) and Bee Trudgeon, and writer/actor/filmmaker Jared Flitcroft (Ngāti Maniapoto). 

The Politics of Disabled Joy is curated by the Crip the Lit rōpū, which advocates for placing the unique voices and perspectives of Deaf and disabled writers within a mainstream writing context
