Reading Conventions is pleased to introduce its first City Reader; a publication for the pedestrian intending to expand the frame we live within.

With a focus on the scale of the neighborhood, the first edition features art works and writings by local artists and residents of San Francisco.

The printed pamphlets will be distributed and intervened within the public streets of San Francisco.

The City Reader includes altered observations, short essays, dimensions, visual thoughts on perceptions of the street, city mappings, facade studies, conversations, stories, data, letters, diagrams, collages, questions, etc.

The printed dialogues are free to the public, and will be released along the sidewalks of the city within one day with hopes for new relationships formed between pedestrian and city.
