The Resemblage Project employs tools from the digital humanities—namely digital storytelling—to craft creative and critical representations of age/ing. A digital story is a first-person narrative that weaves together visual and auditory media—for instance, stock images, home video, illustrations, music, sound effects, and voiceover—in the form of a short video that can be shared widely

The word crip is a reclaimed form of the word “cripple” that some disabled people use to describe their own identity or community, often in response to social imperatives be normal, productive, or able-bodied. Rituals are practices that transform and draw together social worlds. #CripRitual thus describes the things that disabled people do to create new possibilities and realities.
