Friday, August 1, 2- 3 pm PST on KPFA.

A program busting though assumptions and stereotypes about sexuality and disability.  Our guests, the performance group Sins Invalid, make “an unshamed claim to beauty in the face of invisibility.”  They are also leaders in the burgeoning disability justice movement.

Sins Invalid brings entertainers with disabilities together with a focus on performers of color, and queer and gender-variant artists.  Their paradigm-breaking work is thoughtful, sexy and gorgeous.

Co-founder and film maker, Patty Berne joins us in the studio with her film documentary about Sins Invalid.   We’ll hear some great performances as we trash talk white, able-bodied privilege.
