Learn more about Vital Signs, by artists heidi andrea restrepo rhodes & Tala Khanmalek, Creative Capital Grantees 2023.
Vital Signs is a book project that foregrounds an anti-ableist way of being, premised on relationality and interdependency, with special attention to form as part of sick/disabled practices for living differently. The introduction lays out the landscape of thought, influence, and vision for the book. Elaborating a theory of “vital signs” for metaphorical and material mattering—of life and world, intimacy and relation, being and becoming—the introduction specifies what rhodes and Khanmalek intend the book to be: a proposal for epistemological alterity based in queer-of-color disability thought; a textual performance; a space of ritual; a work of speculative memory and meditation on intergenerational trauma and chronic illness as a postcolonial condition; a documentation of the growing archive and constellation of sick and disabled queer thought and cultural production; an epistolary space-time experiment in intimacy and relation—with each other, with ancestors, with their readers; a kind of liberation (anti-)mapping for survival and life-making—a series of signposts they identify or invent. The book is subsequently structured as a compendium that is not necessarily intended to be read in linear fashion. rhodes and Khanmalek aim to include one hundred entries, from A to Z, taking up certain “keywords” related to disability-justice work (such as care and access intimacy, for example), as well as terms that may not be traditionally included in these fields, but which bear relevance for a politics and poetics of illness and disability, and the queer-of-color cultural and theoretical work they do for collective healing.
