🎤Wade coined "crip" to reclaim disability from medical stigma
🎨Includes works by ten contemporary artists connected to her legacy

Step into the editing room of a lost life. Cheryl Marie Wade, Berkeley's self-styled "Queen-Mother of Gnarly," turned crip insult into crip power through raw poetry, one-woman shows, and VHS performances mailed from her bed. This exhibition pieces together decades of forgotten documentary footage, placing her unapologetic voice alongside contemporary artists who share her radical, sensory relationship with disability.
