ABOUT
Hook&Loop is an accessible artist collective led by Disabled, Chronically Ill, neurodivergent and MAD people based out of Philadelphia. We work together to create accessible creative practices and interdisciplinary events for all.
Hook&Loop was established in November 2020 at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. We are an evolving network of people who have equal ownership of the collective. Our members shape the pace, format, space, and time of our work.
Hook&Loop advocates for an anti-capitalist shift in power structures that uphold oppression against Disabled people. Our practice celebrates Disabled lives as an act of resistance against a political-social system set up to control our bodies, labor, experiences, and historical narrative. Plus we have fun together.
We meet online weekly and sometimes meet in person in Philadelphia.
Email us at hookandloopphl@gmail.com to get involved. We are a volunteer run collective, so we sometimes answer very slowly and at our fluctuating capacity!
What is Hook&Loop?
Hook&loop is like velcro. Like the gears in your chair; the curve of your spine.
Hook you up. Loop you in.
Like the mingling nerves in your brain.
The way your glasses loop around your ear.
Hook&Loop's name and logo were created by Lily Feingold.
