A descendant of the Mochica culture of ancient Peru\, he embraces his culture’s use of dreams as a transformative catalyst between reality and imagination. This ancestral knowledge is used to connect artists and communities in collaborations that speak to equality\, liberation\, peace\, and beauty. He believes that creation goes beyond the result: that the fantastic is always written in the creative act.\nArias has created large-scale murals for public and private businesses such as Google and a three-story mural at the corner of Turk and Hyde in San Francisco\, commissioned by the Luggage Store. He has recently created murals for Magic Theater & Freight & Salvage. As co-founder of Mission Arts Performance Project MAPP\, he conceptualizes and creates multi-sensory art experiences such as VideoFest\, Luna Negra\, and the ILLUSION show. His most ambitious project to date is Tarot in Pandemic & Revolution\, a multifaceted collaboration conceived and orchestrated by Arias where he engaged sixty-two visual artists and poets in the creation of a community tarot deck that speaks to historic events that transpired over the pandemic. Published by Nomadic Press and released at CAST in San Francisco where Arias serves as the inaugural artist-in-residence. \nhttp://redpoppyarthouse.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/InShot_20230927_192305140.mp4\n  \nKPOO INTERVIEW | October 5\, 2023 at 7:15 p.m\n \nWe invite you to join KPOO radio host Chelis Lopez (89.5 FM) who will interview Adrián about the “The Indigenous Woman Is Not Invisible” mural on October 5\, 2023\, at 7:15 p.m. Chelis is a long-time supporter of Red Poppy and we appreciate her dedicated work in the community of bringing social justice news and art to the people. \nMAPP (Mission Arts & Performance Project)\nLaunched in 2003\, the Mission Arts & Performance Project (MAPP) is a homegrown bi-monthly\, multidisciplinary\, intercultural event that takes place in the Mission District of San Francisco.

Our current mural\, referred to as “Yeska: A Visual Encounter of the Socio-Political & Artistic Languages Rising from the Streets of Oaxaca\, Mexico\,” has been of immense importance to our neighborhood. It serves as a reminder of their tragic deaths and that the struggle for social justice continues. \n \nAmilcar Perez-Lopez with his hands up on the Red Poppy Art House mural\, which also includes Eric Garner and Michael Brown. Photograph: Oliver Laughland/The Guardian \n  \nWe are grateful to Caleb Duarte\, an extraordinary social justice activist and former director of Red Poppy\, who initiated the process of getting the mural painted and installed\, and to the creators\, both street artists\, YESCKA and Jhovani de Ala. To learn more about the origins of the mural click here. \nAdrián’s work is filled with inspiration\, hope\, beauty\, and compassion—qualities that we can never have too much of. We hope that as people pass by Red Poppy\, they will reflect on the beauty of indigenous cultures worldwide and pay deep tribute to women everywhere. \nThe mural painting is currently in progress inside Red Poppy Art House by Adrián and will be officially shared with our community on Saturday\, October 7\, 2023\, at 4:30 p.m. during our Bi-monthly Free MAPP (Mission Arts Performance Project) event. \nhttp://redpoppyarthouse.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/InShot_20230927_192305140.mp4\n  \nMural Statement: \nEnglish: The image of this indigenous woman is based on four native women from the territory that we now call America.

A descendant of the Mochica culture of ancient Peru\, he embraces his culture’s use of dreams as a transformative catalyst between reality and imagination. This ancestral knowledge is used to connect artists and communities in collaborations that speak to equality\, liberation\, peace\, and beauty.

Published by Nomadic Press and released at CAST in San Francisco where Arias serves as the inaugural artist-in-residence. \n \nABOUT THE ARTISTS\nKim Shuck | Poetry\nThe 7th Poet Laureate of San Francisco Emerita \n\nKim Shuck is the 7th Poet Laureate of San Francisco Emerita. As laureate Shuck featured from 4 to 7 local poets every month at her Poem Jam reading series\, which she has continued to host. During the covid lockdown\, she curated a poem a day for a year through the San Francisco Public Library\, again\, featuring local poets both famous and published for the first time. Shuck was part of the inaugural cohort of the National Laureate Fellowship Program\, which she used to further celebrate local poets. Shuck has won many literary awards nationally and internationally\, has written ten solo books\, and has been involved in editing a further ten anthologies. Kim created a card for Adrian Arias’ tarot deck. She currently has a show of her visual art on the 6th floor of the San Francisco Main Library and is working on another anthology\, this time online\, with Aunt Lute books and Emma Rosenbaum called Home in the Bay. \nCharith Premawardhana\nClassical viola \n\n\nViolist Charith Premawardhana is a native of Sri Lanka and a resident of San Francisco. Charith is the founder of Classical Revolution\, an organization that promotes live music performances in accessible venues. What started 5 years ago as a weekly chamber music reading session at Revolution Cafe in San Francisco’s Mission District has grown into a worldwide phenomenon\, with active chapters in nearly 30 cities in the US\, Canada\, and Europe. Classical Revolution is very active in the Bay Area\, having presented over 700 live performances since 2006. Charith is a proponent of new music of different styles\, having premiered more than 200 works since moving to San Francisco seven years ago. In addition\, Charith has recorded and performed with the Musical Art Quintet (world chamber ensemble)\, Jazz Mafia Symphony (jazz/hip hop orchestra)\, The Congress (soul/funk band)\, Magik*Magik Orchestra (backup orchestra for pop and rock bands)\, Third Eye Blind\, jazz singer Madeleine Peyroux\, pop star Vanessa Carlton\, rock band The Mars Volta\, Indian/jazz percussionist Sameer Gupta\, folk singer/songwriter Meklit Hadero\, gypsy folk band Rupa & the April Fishes\, and numerous other ensembles from various musical styles. With all of these various projects\, Charith’s main interest is in chamber music\, and he brings the experience gained in performing in a string quartet to each of these non-classical chamber groups. Charith has performed at the Cabrillo Contemporary Music Festival\, Aspen Music Festival\, the Playboy (LA)\, Newport\, Montreal\, Vancouver\, and Victoria Jazz Festivals and holds performance degrees from The Ohio State University\, Rice University\, and San Francisco Conservatory of Music. \n\n  \nClassical Revolution \nA Tasting Menu of Piano Quartets \n\n\n\nMusic by Mozart\, Schumann\, Brahms\, and Faure \nFeaturing:\nJon Lee – piano\nDaniel Dastoor – violin\nCharith Premawardhana – viola\nSung Choi – cello \nClassical Revolution was founded in the fall of 2006 with the goal of making classical music more relevant in our neighborhoods and communities.
After a successful first year of weekly shows at Revolution Cafe in San Francisco’s Mission District\, the organization began to receive invitations to perform at other local venues including the Red Poppy Art House\, the Legion of Honor\, and Yoshi’s SF.
In its 10th anniversary year\, Classical Revolution undertook a cycle of Beethoven’s 9 Symphonies\, performed at venues around San Francisco including the de Young Museum\, Fort Mason’s Cowell Theater\, and a performance of the 9th Symphony at Grace Cathedral in front of a 1000 person audience.
Press articles from the New York Times\, Strings Magazine\, Wall Street Journal\, and The Economist brought wider attention to Classical Revolution’s efforts.
As interest grew outside of San Francisco\, the network of chapters began to develop\, with over 40 cities hosting regular Classical Revolution around the US\, Canada\, Europe\, and Australia\, as well as Indonesia\, Argentina\, South Korea\, and Japan.
Over 1200 musicians have performed at more than 1\,500 Classical Revolution events in over 150 different venues in the Bay Area alone. Audiences enjoy the accessibility of the venues and the fun laid-back approach\, as well as the diversity and quality in programming. In San Francisco\, Classical Revolution hosts regular events at Mission District venues as well as guest appearances around the Bay Area. \n\n  \nEl Corazón Canta\nLatin America with Mónica María & Jackeline Rago \n\n\n\nFeaturing:\nMónica María – Guitar & Vocal\nJackeline Rago – Cuatro & Vocal \nMónica María’s music reflects her Californian roots mixed with traditional\, earthly\, and contemporary sounds of Latin America. A vocalist\, multi-instrumentalist\, and composer\, her songs are innovative and expressive of a world where cultures coexist\, where fear is transformed by compassion\, where we learn to truly love ourselves\, and where we view the world from an empathetic and holistic state of mind. \nJackeline Rago (Venezuela-USA) is a multi-instrumentalist\, educator\, composer\, arranger\, producer\, performer\, and recording artist. She has performed and recorded a broad repertoire of music ranging from the folk music of her native Venezuela and other Latin American and Caribbean countries to original compositions mixed with jazz and pop elements. Jackeline holds a BA in music and she is an Orff certified music teacher from the San Francisco School and the Dominican College\, Marin CA. Currently\, She is in charge of the Lower School music program at Park Day School in Oakland CA\, and worked as a faculty member at the California Jazz Conservatory in Berkeley California for 15 years.

Her music is rooted in a continuous process of discovery and care\, where trauma is transformed into art.\nA self-described “weird\, cosmic\, and queer islander” from Puerto Rico\, Esotérica Tropical’s musical journey began as a student of classical vocal performance at Puerto Rico’s prestigious Conservatory of Music. After a series of health issues derailed her music studies\, she began treatment for Hashimoto’s disease in 2009\, including daily swims at San Juan’s El Escambrón beach. It was there on one serendipitous day that she was approached by the lifeguard on duty ––to her surprise\, her friend Constanza\, a violinist she’d met during her conservatory days. While catching up\, María José confessed to her friend she had begun making up songs in the shower\, and the very next day Constanza had gifted her her first harp which previously belonged to Puerto Rican composer Angélica Negrón! That chance encounter led to Esotérica Tropical’s first collection of songs\, the self-released Estrellas EP (2014). Currently moving between Puerto Rico and Oakland\, California\, Esotérica Tropical’s forthcoming album Esotérica Tropical is due out in 2024. \nPREVIEW THE PERFORMANCE\nCharith Premawardhana\nClassical viola \n \n  \nEl Corazón Canta | Latin America \nMónica María \n \nJackeline Rago \n \n  \nEsotérica Tropical \nA Tasting Menu of Piano Quartets \n \n\n\n\n\n\nIN PERSON EVENT DETAILS\nTime: October 7th\, 2023\, 4:30pm- 10pm (IN-PERSON) \nAdmission: Free! \n\n \n  \nDONATE

It is characterized by its great resistance. It has strong roots that can measure up to 70 meters (230 feet) deep\, this\nallows the tree to live up to one thousand years self-sufficiently feeding itself from the water in the subsoil. Therefore\, it survives the arid land and hostile climate even creating new ecosystems for the habitat of other species. \nOur Huarango is a musical project born in the city of Oakland\, California based on Afro-Peruvian musical roots and the cultural heritage of its people. Huarango has the purpose of being an agent of diffusion of Afro-Peruvian culture in the San Francisco Bay Area\, and in all the spaces where we can take our music.” \n\n\n\nPREVIEW THE MUSIC: \n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \nEVENT DETAILS\nSaturday\, October 14th\, 2023\nTime: 7:00 pm doors\, 7:30 pm show\nAdmission: (Online) $25 – $35/ (Door)$30-$35 \nNote: A limited quantity of additional tickets will be available for purchase at the door unless otherwise noted on the Facebook event page that the show is SOLD OUT. \nPurchase advance tickets for this event \nNote: Purchasing an advance ticket guarantees admission but does not guarantee a seat.
