Performing Normal: Party Tricks for a New World (A Care Index Project)

Care Index: Performing Normal is a series exploring how embracing caring practices can serve as a transformative approach to challenging ableism and the pressure to conform to societal norms. This small book hosts a vast universe of approaches to how each of us can do so. A year of collaboration, creation and reflection is captured here, along with an index of ‘party tricks’ learned from embracing everyone as legitimate and full of potential. In times of “banned words” and politicising of identities, we find much urgency in circulating and deepening care practices that hold space for differences.
