Drawing Hidden Systems with Dan Nott at Brownell Library

Have you ever wondered where electricity comes from, how the internet works, or how there’s (mostly) enough water for everyone all the time? Where did these systems come from, and how do they affect our challenges, like inequality and climate change? Join Vermont author and artist Dan Nott for a look at these questions and more as he discusses his nonfiction graphic novel, Hidden Systems, during this all-ages event. The talk will also include visual readings from Hidden Systems that focus on the electric grid and energy uses, lessons from comics history, and information for readers and aspiring cartoonists on how to get into reading and drawing comics.  This is a Vermont Humanities event hosted by Brownell Library and it is inspired by this year's Vermont Read: The Light Pirate by Lily Brooks-Dalton.  Program attendees can pick up a free copy of The Light Pirate at this event.
