Chelsey Campbell (they/she) is a queer crip artist, educator, and cultural worker in ᐊᒥᐢᑲᐧᒋᐋᐧᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ amiskwacîwâskahikan on Treaty 6 territory (or so-called Edmonton, Alberta). Exploring narratives of Disability Justice, feminized care labour, and crip kinship, their practice intertwines performance autoethnography with community-oriented practices of access, care, and interdependence. Through a combination of printmaking, textiles, 3D modelling, installation, and photography, their work seeks to make space for the body in pain, celebrate disabled narratives as complex and whole, and build radical access for community through artistic practice.
