This will be a space to share memories, lessons, songs, images, and poems honoring Patty’s life; anchoring our visions for liberatory futures in what #PattyTaughtUs.

A colorful drawing of Patty Berne, a Japanese-Haitian person with light brown skin, looking youthful and happy, their face shining with light. Patty’s hair is long, dark and curly, and she looks to the side with a dimpled grin. They wear an off-the -shoulder blouse and are surrounded by flowers from their garden including pink and orange toned roses

Oh my gods Patty Berne just passed away 😭 she was a huge inspiration for disability art and justice to me. Rest in power Patty #Pattytaughtus #PattyLivesThroughUs

Patty Berne,a Japanese-Haitian person with light brown skin, smiles playfully with love and light shining from their brown eyes. They wear an off the shoulder opalescent blue dress and an amethyst pendant. Their brown hair is pulled back into their signature two buns. Behind Patty is a pink background with radiant red and yellow flowers. At the top of the image, iridescent capital letters spell out “PATTY LIVES THROUGH US.” On the bottom right corner is Sins Invalid’s logo, a black rectangular box with white letters that read “Sins Invalid.”

Patty Berne has transitioned away from this hellscape.

Learn about them & their work in this lovely tribute from the collective they co-founded.
