The Musketeer book One for All – All for One! A joint fight for human rights written by Onze Nieuwe Toekomst is a disclosure of oral accounts of people with the label of learning difficulties. The Musketeer book is an articulation of their individual and collective politics of resistance. With this collection of stories activists and their allies hope to bring tangible shifts in beliefs and attitudes in disabling society. In this article, the Head Musketeer Danny and his right-hand Musketeer Ludo reflect upon their relational perspective on the process of (self-) empowerment with their Tinker Ladies. Our experience unfolds like walking a high wire. Our Flemish perspective reveals a profound awareness of power dynamics in an intensely felt cooperative research process.
