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.

Come to the library for a special Radar Reading featuring banned book authors. Listen to Marcus Ewert, author of 10,000 Dresses, Ariel Schrag, author of Stuck in the Middle, Anne Elizabeth Moore, author of  Unmarketable, and April Sinclair, Coffee Will Make You Black.

Hosted by Michelle Tea. Sponsored by the James C. Hormel Center and funded by the California Arts Council.
