We’re pleased to announce our first exhibition, at 18 Reasons in San Francisco. Since Meatpaper Issue One, Julio Duffoo has been shooting extraordinary portraits of the people who spend their lives engaged with meat.
WHAT:
Julio Duffoo’s portraits will be installed at 18 Reasons Gallery. We’ll be co-hosting two 18th Hour events. Bi-Rite Market will be serving tastes of some of their favorite wines, as well as their house-made charcuterie.
As 18 Reasons is a very small space, we will hold openings on two consecutive Thursday evenings. Please join us! Be prepared for a crowd!
During the second session on July 2, we will host an Open Meat Mic. Prepare your favorite poem, song, story, display, or performance about meat (in 3 minutes or less) and share it at 18 Reasons. Sign up for 3 minute time slots by emailing Meatpaper at events@meatpaper.com. Please title your email “Open Meat Mic” and include your full name.
WHEN:

Thursday July 2, 7-9pm
