(I spotted this at Smarts & Crafts—it sounds like quite an assembly of folks.)

What the heck is Pop-Up Magazine? It is an evening of talking, film, reading, radio, photography, and interviews. All short, fast, mixed up, and served to an audience at the amazing Brava Theater in San Francisco’s Mission district, with a party to follow. The night will unfold like a magazine. Short stuff in the front, longer stuff in the back.

  • CARLAGIRL PHOTO was founded on 14 February 1999 by Carla Willliams, a photographer, writer, and editor, born, raised and heading back to (yea!) Los Angeles, California.

    It was established with two goals: to be able to make my own work widely available for free, and to make accessible my research about artists of the African Diaspora, especially photographers, and in particular women. As it developed it grew to also include GLBTQ artists.
