A dark skinned wheelchair user with long hair and a beanie sits at a small table, using their laptop to participate in a video meeting. The laptop screen is shown to their right, with the call being live captioned. The main speaker is a dark skinned person wearing a hijab and glasses, and 3 other participants are at the bottom of the screen, in smaller windows. In the bottom right corner, a yellow service dog bounds towards the wheelchair user.

What is ‘The Cutlery Drawer’?

The Cutlery Drawer is a project started by Alber Saborío in 2023.

This project is to make space for us queer crips who are being excluded from queer spaces by being inaccessible. We make our own spaces !! Join us for some fun queer times!

Who is it for?

  • Any person who is comfortable calling themselves a queer crip
  • Anyone within the LGBTQIA+ community
  • Anyone who is questioning their gender or sexuality or both
  • Anyone who is feeling isolated by mainstream Pride events and looking for anti-capitalist, anti-eugenics queer community
  • Anyone who feels they would benefit from being in the space and can respect others

* You do not have to fit all of these criteria, as long as you are at least one of them and can respect the space as a queercrip space you are welcome!

Illustration of five BIPOC friends enjoying a planetarium show together, all sitting and wearing a variety of masks and colorful summer outfits. In the group: a Black trans man using a power wheelchair, an Afro-Latina woman who’s an arm amputee, a Black Autistic person holding a star-shaped fidget, an invisibly disabled Asian femme, and a multiracial person using a mobility scooter. Stars twinkle in the overhead dome as soft purple light fills the room and an air purifier hums in the background. A wheelchair access symbol can be seen beneath the mobility scooter.

An Indigenous woman and a Latinx non-binary person discuss books while sitting on a couch inside a bookstore. They are both masked.

The Indigenous woman wears glasses, wrist support wraps and finger splints, and is leaning on supportive kitty pillows. The Latinx person holds a fidget in one hand and a book in another while their cane rests between their legs. In the right foreground, a Black non-binary person is visible from the back, though blurred because depth of field.
