SUMMARY:Books and Bites: Technovernacular Creativity (5-6 pm)
DESCRIPTION: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."\n\nThe 
 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.\n\nThis event is a part of the MIT Artfinity Arts 
 Festival. You are registering to attend Books and Bites from 5-6 pm on 
 Tuesday\, March 11. Walk-ins also welcomed at the door. \n\nPreview titles 
 on view and past titles from previous Books and Bites events. \n\n
