On the first Saturday of every even month of the year, the MAPP transforms ordinary spaces, such as private garages, gardens, living rooms, studios, street corners, and small businesses into pop-up performance and exhibition sites for a day/night of intimate-scale artistic and cultural exchange among a kaleidoscope of individuals and communities.

As a proud product of San Francisco’s vibrant arts ecosystem, INTI MYSTICA takes listeners on a thrilling journey that’s as much about collective liberation as it is about sound
Visual Art Exhibition: Fracture Zones
Inspired by the geographical language and imagery of topographic maps, particularly the large scars forming “fracture zones” deep beneath the surface of the Atlantic Ocean, she uses these fissures as a metaphor for the layers of emotional experience related to ancestry, immigration, and lost family narratives.
Andrea Guskin is a San Francisco Bay Area based multidisciplinary artist who was raised amongst the woods and college campuses of Wisconsin and Ohio.
She works across multiple disciplines including photography, sculpture, and painting. She often uses everyday domestic materials and tools for mending–such as thread, foil, spices– to explore ancestry, domesticity and strategies for repair and transformation in our daily lives.
