Pratiques urbaines

Spring / Summer 2001

[In French] L’art urbain fait d’abord et avant tout appel au public puisque le contexte social, et surtout l’individu, en sont la matière première. Ainsi, ce dossier propose de réfléchir sur les motivations des artistes qui prennent place dans le tissu urbain, celles-ci fluctuant au gré des différentes situations.

Crip

Spring Summer 2026

While “handi” (short for the term “handicapé” in French) and “crip” (derived from “cripple,” meaning “disabled”) are diminutive forms of stigmatizing terms, the meaning we ascribe to them is by no means reductive. On the contrary, they carry a political weight that provides those who embrace them with a powerful tool for empowerment, offering disabled artists non-normative ways for articulating the strange temporalities of disabled experience and alternative ways for navigating an ableist art world. In this issue, we are interested precisely in this work of social, political, and cultural transformation, and we focus on the ways in which crip authors and artists address the different challenges they face.
