Gambiarra and Techno-Vernacular Creativity in NIME Research

João Tragtenberg, Gabriel Albuquerque, and Filipe Calegario

Proceedings of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

Abstract

Over past editions of the NIME Conference, there has been a growing concern towards diversity and inclusion. It is relevant for an international community whose vast majority of its members are in Europe, the USA, and Canada to seek a richer cultural diversity. To contribute to a decolonial perspective in the inclusion of underrepresented countries and ethnic/racial groups, we discuss Gambiarra and Techno-Vernacular Creativity concepts. We believe these concepts may help structure and stimulate individuals from these underrepresented contexts to perform research in the NIME field.
