Description
Join us in the gallery for a nap-in. A crip spin on the civil disobedience tactic, sit-in, made famous during the civil rights movement, the nap-in is an anti-capitalist crip occupation of the gallery space. The nap-in calls on museums, galleries, and arts institutions everywhere to provide more places for rest in their spaces and make accessibility a priority, not an after-thought. Pushing back against capitalism, a system with which the art world is inextricably tied and that views our bodies as machines for production and labor, the nap-in asks you to occupy the gallery with your resting body, to revel in rest as an act of resistance. Poofs, blankets, and sleepy snacks will be provided. Feel free to wear comfy clothes, bring a pillow, and pack headphones if you'd like to listen to music or a guided meditation, or watch a tv show during the communal nap. The venue is wheelchair accessible and there will be a few furniture options for resting. All are welcome.
