This books shares a way of looking at the world that is liberating and revolutionary and necessary. It shares the activism of Sins Invalid, which brings together disabled artists to rediscover and redefine their bodies and minds, and create a community that prioritises intersectionality, access for all, recognition of needs, mutual aid and support. Their work challenges ableist, capitalist and colonial ideas of good, valuable and beautiful bodies, instead reclaiming all bodies as beautiful and powerful and worthy, and reimagining new ways of living that embrace these ideas for the good of all. It is a detailed and passionate exploration, and although it at times feels repetitive, that is only because it reinforces its ideas from so many perspectives.
