A Wheelchair is a Small Gundam by anna anthropy
I remember how as a young kid I thought wearing a watch and glasses made me a kind of a cyborg and it was awesome. This wonderful zine of wheelchair (and, by generalisation, beneficent technology) joy is along the same lines.
Wheelchairs are beautiful, a marvel of technology. They are mech suits, cybernetic enhancements, they are machines that we join with in a nourishing symbiotic relationship. They are not prisons; wheelchairs are liberation. They are freedom, they are a walk in the park, they are the sunlight on my face after years in dark tunnels.
There is so little media about the joy that wheelchairs bring, how powerfully they transform our lives. That’s why I’m writing this zine. Not for abled people, but for someone like me who once hated and feared the thing that would make me whole again.
