What does storytelling have to do with systems change? How do we build care into our practice and embrace interdependence as mad, deaf, and disabled communities? And what does it look like to turn towards the things that we love? In this episode, producer Emily Blyth sits down with Dr. Syrus Marcus Ware, a scholar, playwright, author, and artist who is helping to build a better future – a future where trans and disabled people live long enough to become elders and where artists have plenty of room to play.
