Come celebrate the intersection of arts, science, and technology through the lens of marginalized communities represented in MIT Libraries' distinctive collections. Attendees will be introduced to Dr. Nettrice Gaskin's concept of technovernacular creativity, which "connects technical literacy, equity, and culture, encompassing creative innovations produced by ethnic groups that are often overlooked."

The Books and Bites event will engage attendees in the various rare materials from the Distinctive Collections (DDC) at MIT Libraries. A curated selection of materials, including artists’ books, zines, and art, alongside treasures from the Aga Khan Documentation Center, will showcase underrepresented groups and their contributions to the fields of art, science, and technology.

This event is a part of the MIT Artfinity Arts Festival. You are registering to attend Books and Bites from 6-7 pm on Tuesday, March 11.
