Pollination I: Opening night of the Cross Pollination Festival

The Red Poppy Art House Presents
The First Annual Cross Pollination People & Performance Festival 
September 24th-28th, 2014

Curated by lu-Hui Chua, Todd Thomas Brown, and Melody Wang

This September, the Red Poppy Art House is producing a new festival aimed at bringing together artists and audiences from different communities and artistic disciplines. It’s all about creating a space of intersection between the different worlds we inhabit; our social spheres, our work life, and our personal paths. Each evening features a mash-up of different aesthetics that highlight the audiences attending as well as the artists presenting. Come experience a weekend of people and performance, magic and medicine, and the space between.
