Event Details

“Show Us Your Spines” Indie Writers Reading | SF Main Library

The Radar Reading Series has been going on for over 14 years now and starting 2018 they will be changing the format from a one-time reading 12 times a year to six month-long residencies that result in a bi-monthly presentation of work.

Show Us Your Spines is a month-long writer residency + reading in collaboration with the SF Public Library’s Hormel Center. For a month QTPOC writers will work with Hormel Center LGBT archives around a specific queer theme, writing/producing a piece that will then be read/presented the following month at the Hormel Center.

Each residency cohort will be comprised of four writers/artists, who will spend one month with a section/theme of the archives chosen by both RADAR and the library. During that month they will write/create a piece inspired by the chosen ephemera.

RADAR Productions Presents: December Queer Reading Series at the San Francisco Library. The authors for this month are:

  • Maya Pindyck – A multidisciplinary artist, she has received grants and fellowships in support of her work from the Historic House Trust of New York City’s Contemporary Art Partnerships Program, the Abortion Conversation Project, Squaw Valley Writers, and the Vermont Studio Center.
  • Katherine Agard – She writes and performs her relationship to color – material, socio-cultural, spiritual – and the language which allows us to perceive it.
  • Chloe Caldwell – She teaches personal essay and memoir writing in New York City and lives in Hudson, NY
  • Grace Rosario Perkins – Is interested in disassembling her personal narrative and reassembling it as one that layers words, objects, faces, and signifiers built from cultural dissonance, language, and history.

Did they mention that there will be free cookies all throughout the reading?
