KALW Presents: aja monet, Yerba Buena Gardens Festival, Los Bitchos

This is a banner promoting Aja Monet's June 22nd show a The Freight in Berkeley, co-presented by KALW. In the left third is a black block with KALW and The Freight logos. In the center is a photograph of Aja Monet. She is seated infront of a field of lush grass and weeds. She is sitting in a confident pose, with her head tilted up. She is wearing a grean jacket with brown collar and cuff. The wrist is pushed up enough to reveal a beaded bracelet. The third block says AJA MONET in black lettering, under the date Sun, June 22 and 'Spoken Word'.
