What’s cool about collage is how an artist can repurpose things and give them new life and meaning simply by placing them next to other things. So many small choices make up the whole: type of material, size, shape, color; what to include and what to leave out. At this talk, learn more about the process, inspiration, and techniques of two local creatives whose work requires this type of consideration: queer Mexican American artist and ACC assistant prof Bernie Diaz, and Katie Conley, whose postage stamp collage exhibit, “Parts to Whole,” is on view now at DAC. – Kat McNevins

Artist Talk With Bernie Diaz & Katie Conley

Did you know the Austin Public Library had a Digital Makerspace? Well, it does, and they want to help anyone try out this recent technological advancement with a two-hour, hands-on course. Learn the basics of how 3D printers and the software behind their creations work before playing around in Tinkercad to help draw up something printable. Leave those designs with your instructor and within a few weeks you can pick up the physical manifestation of your idea. Maybe not quite Frankenstein-levels of creation power, but we’re getting there. – James Renovitch

Intro to 3D Printing

Rescheduled due to lousy weather, the delay only reinforces this year’s theme –Antojitos / “Little Cravings” – at Taste of Mexico, an annual foodie fundraiser. Mouths are going to water at the tasty comestibles dished out from 50 Austin restaurants and food trucks, including Licha’s Cantina, Comedor, and Jaime’s Spanish Village, and it’s all going to support Mexic-Arte Museum’s educational programming. Also on the menu: a Ballet Folklorico performance, beats by DJ uLUVi, screenprinting, loteria, mariachis, and more.: – Kimberley Jones

No. 3 of Weird Wednesdays’ secret-til-day-of anime movie series, this mysterious manga adaptation promises a science-fiction romp that redefines commitment to the bit. According to the Alamo Drafthouse’s event copy, “The one-line plot summary could have been executed at Saturday Night Live sketch length, but the humor here is stretched across an ever-widening palette, the ridiculous absurdity accumulating over its feature length (and into a sequel!).” Hmm: Now there’s a pretty enticing summary! Grab your ticket soon; this here’s gonna be a real treat. – James Scott

Holding down Hole in the Wall’s monthly residency, Middle Sattre curates Wednesday night showcases as innovative as their chamber pop-informed folk. The eightpiece operates less as a rigidly defined band than as a free-form cooperative, continuing to broaden their instrumental lexicon on fantastic February release Tendencies. Earlier shows included a contemporary classical takeover, while their upcoming set features a live film score to 1927 sci-fi cult classic Metropolis. Consider the cinema-inspired event a quadruple-header: E. Artifact and Mockjaw contribute jazz-twinged breaths of life, while Thomas Echols maneuvers between classical guitar and futuristic synth sound with equal expertise. – Genevieve Wood
