The Critical Axis logo embraces imperfection with its slightly askew matrix. The upper right, and more aspirational quadrant is blocked off and colored outside the lines. The all caps, san serif Critical Axis word mark is disrupted by an exaggerated forward leaning line of the x that descends below the baseline of the text.

Charity

The Charity Model of Disability is a stigmatizing relic of Industrialization that casts disabled people as tragedies in need of saving. Non-disabled people take on the role of saviors with high moral character. The Charity Model is an extension of The Medical Model, which presumes disabled people are unable to contribute, and so we require ‘selfless’ generosity for our survival.
