In the first work to bring crip aesthetics into conversation with Israel studies, Ilana Szobel explores disability culture and disability justice through the work of artists with disabilities in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories. For these performers, filmmakers, and artists, art allows them to reimagine and reframe accessibility in artistic, cultural, and political spaces while also connecting the embodied experience of disability to the power dynamics of geopolitical violence. Szobel demonstrates how these artists create community, make nuanced depictions of identity and desire, and imagine disability futures.
