ADAPT in Space sees itself in that heritage, of alembracing the capacities of all humans to tell stories, and to rehearse actions and reactions in them. 'Free our People' is one of the rallying calls of grassroots disability rights movements, and organisations like the real ADAPT, a US-based group that uses actions like sit-ins in senate offices, as tools to draw attention to the plights of warehoused disabled people. Interdependence is one core value of disability culture observations – and so uses user-focused, interactive, interdependent, and open forms as a way of marrying formal elements of storytelling to ways of knowing disability. Activists of all kinds are embracing again the value of storytelling as a way of generating and sharing knowledges, as a form of analysis in its own right. Worked with activists in multiple fields to explore the use of genre narrative as a way to communicate the need and the opportunities of change.
