When: October 11, 6–9 PM
Where: Empire Seven Studios, Japantown, San José

Jamnesia is Nitrate Fox's first monograph, showcasing tintype portraits that capture the essence of roller derby skaters and culture. Fully funded on Kickstarter in 2024, following a year of Nitrate Fox traveling the West Coast to shoot portraits in her mobile darkroom, the book is finally here in its full glory!

Celebrate this exciting new book release with an unforgettable evening that brings together derby culture, creativity, and community.

What to expect:

• Jamnesia gallery on display at Empire Seven Studios: come see never-before-seen plates being showcased for the first time!
• Jamnesia books for sale + exclusive print giveaway
• Live DJs spinning all night
• Open skating (bring your own skates to roll!) and a roller dance class (at 7:30) to get your groove on
• Food trucks + drinks (vendors announced soon)
• HDRD merch sales so you can rep your local derby league
• and more!

Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind event, whether you’re an art collector, skater, part of the roller derby community or just curious about the culture, all are welcome!
