This coloring and activity book was created by Miso Kwak and Emily Nott, two graduate students, friends and co-conspirators in Teejop (Madison, WI). The book was designed by Miso and Emily collaboratively, with art inked by Emily and tactile edition design by Miso and the team at Clovernook. The book includes not only pages to color, but prompts for poems, activities, reflection questions, further learning, pleasure activism and dialogue with loved ones. Our hope is that this book is a pathway for people into engaging with Feminist Disability Studies theory and crip wisdoms, and that Engagement with these ideas creates pathways to care, resistance, softness, struggle, and possibility. We hope this book gives you a place to color, make, stim, and reflect in ways that nourish you. Love, Miso and Em.
100% of Miso and Em’s profits from this book are donated to the Disability Visibility Project .
