From Atlantis Community, Inc.

This is a note from our Disaster Preparedness Coordinator to remind you to keep following COVID-19 guidelines. Colorado COVID-19 cases are rising so we must make sure we are following these guidelines to protect ourselves and others. 

1. Wear a face covering when outside of your home. 

2. Social distance by staying home if possible. If leaving home, stay at least 6 feet apart from others. The number of non-related people allowed to gather in unregulated settings is currently only 5.

3. Wash your hands frequently!

    Sins Invalid Presents We Love Like Barnacles: Crip Lives in Climate Chaos

    Oct 23, 24, or 25

    Through dance, song, storytelling, poetry and performance, our seven artists will show how the crip community is surviving, thriving and resisting injustice. Our performance offers a glimpse of disabled wholeness where our bodies, politics, sexuality, dreams, and liberation are central to the evolution of this planet. 

    All events will have a pre-performance lounge and a post-performance live Q&A. All performances will be Closed Captioned, ASL interpreted and Audio Described

    Sins Invalid is a disability justice based performance project creating artistic and educational work that centralizes disabled artists of color, queer, trans and non-binary disabled artists as members of communities who have been historically marginalized.
