Including Disability Global Summit 2023
Tuesday April 25th through Thursday April 27th, 2023
HopePunk: Persevering, Building Community, Chasing Hope
REGISTRATION OPEN NOW:
Join us at this year’s Summit by registering at: https://including-disability.
HopePunk is a type of speculative fiction that stands in contrast to the imagined dystopias of tomorrow – and the real dystopian trends of today. HopePunk centers fighting for positive change, kindness as a radical act, and finding strength in the community to overcome challenges. The term was coined via a Tumblr post in 2017 by fantasy author Alexandra Rowland. It upends narratives of apathy, cynicism, and hopelessness by imagining worlds where collective rebellion and resistance lead to liberation.
The theme for the 2023 Summit is a call for agitation: What can we do now so that the future is far better than the present for disabled people?
Keynote Speakers
Liz Jackson, “How to Succeed Downwards?”
D’Arcee Charington Neal, “Embracing the Ecstatic: Disability in the Afrofuture”
This year we are also excited to announce a screening of the award-winning film “Dani’s Twins”! This documentary captures the pregnancy and early parenting journey of Daniela Izzie, one of the few quadriplegics in history to ever give birth to twins.
