In this workshop about establishing a new context for accessibility in a landscape of restrictive programs and prescriptive regimes, Papalia introduced participants to the Open Access framework and illustrated the various ways that he has made use of it in his last 10 years working as an artist. Participants from organizations and institutions that serve the public had the opportunity to reconsider their accessibility and public engagement practices towards the goal of a relational accessibility program that evolves with the culture of the publics that they serve. In one-on-one and small group activities, participants considered their work in relation to the guiding principles of Open Access; inspiring a broad reframing of the ways institutions engage those at the margins.
