The Access and Disability Innovation Working Group at MIT Open Documentary Lab and Co-Creation Studio brings together emergent media storytellers, creative technologists, curators, funders and scholars to share and learn through researching, mapping, and showcasing theories, practices and projects that center disability innovation within the framework of disability justice. The group has been meeting for the last two years to field-build in areas of interactive, immersive non-fiction, documentary and journalism that centers disability as a driver for tech, social, aesthetic, political and epistemological development.
The group includes members with lived experience of disability, including neurodiversity, hearing impairment and chronic illness.
