Shaded Space will be celebrating our latest short story release, "Beth Hendricks", at Medicine for Nightmares with an evening of readings by the author, Finn Finneran, as well as by local poets Wendy Trevino and David Buuck. Signed copies, previous Shaded Space releases, and a selection of free zines will also be available.

Finn Finneran (he/they) is a writer, student, and organizer living in the Bay Area, CA. Originally from the south, Finn left home and high school as a teenager seeking something like a life one might find in a Diane di Prima poem. He thinks he’s mostly succeeded in this regard. An eventful life and a free ride at City College of San Francisco inspired Finn to write stories and poems. He’s self-published three issues of his zine Slap Back Sylvia, and has since transferred as a re-entry student to UC Berkeley to study literature, history, and political theory in the American Studies department. He’s also a worker-owner at Rainbow Grocery Cooperative in San Francisco. Finn is queer, trans, working class, and rooting for the Intifada and all the underdogs!

Shaded Space is a resting place for printed media that doesn't have a home elsewhere. We print and distribute a wide variety of work ranging from artist’s books and zines to short stories and Islamic manuscripts. We believe most of all in providing a physical object you can hold in your hands and enjoy.

A live late show just like the good old days! El Late Show with host Marisol Medina Cadena will take on local politics, culture and consejos before a live audience and trade chismes y cuentos with special guests from La Mision. On tonight’s episode cumbia barn band Rascuaches stops by for a jam, Marisol takes a visit to “Herencia”, 24th street’s latest bougie gastronoeria, and El Late Show is visited by a pinche puppet.

Presented by Insert Press with support from Instituto Cervantes Los Angeles and the Chilean Ministry of Culture, Arts, and Heritage.

“Here are some of my books…sketchbooks, notebooks, journals, books I sewed together, books gifted and filled, books that hold things I want to remember, things others have shared with me and commitments I have made to and for myself. When we create, these pieces of ourselves are reflections of hours and generations of thinking, feeling, trying, changing, experiencing and dreaming. These books are filled with this and more, lots of experimenting, painting, drawing, gluing, sewing, layering. Look through them and you can see some of my mind and life. I wonder how they might remind you of anything you have been through, anything you want for yourself and for the world. What books have you filled/would you fill?”-Amanda Ayala

Tonight’s soulful and cosmic vibes are being provided by guitarist/vocalist Angel.

Soulful, ethereal, and transcendental, Angel’s sound is a fusion of guitar and voice—blending ambient textures, jazz rap’s message-driven flow, and the reverence of reggae. 27-year-old Angelo Idrovo, known as Angel, was born in Manhattan and raised across the tri-state area of NJ/NY/PA. A cross-country road trip brought him to the Bay on a wave of synchronicities, where he’s now based and building his sound and sharing it through live performances and digital platforms. Follow his journey on YouTube, Instagram, and Tik Tok under Soul Speakings.

Explore the influence of dreams, dream recollection and dream interpretation in poetry. We will discuss the ways in which poetry simulates the variability of dream states, source dream memories for the content of our poems, and develop dream poems to then draft in handmade chapbooks and workshop as a group. Much of the workshop will focus on the connections between memory, middling states of consciousness, sleep phases, and how they can be structurally and imaginatively woven into the writing process.
