The installation features a blue space constructed with printed fabrics that originated from cyanotypes. The fabric design was created by placing shredded paper—from documents too personal to share whole—on paper and fabric treated with photosensitive chemicals and exposed to the sun. \nGuests will be invited to sit inside the space and contribute to collaborative community looms: branch looms and a tapestry frame loom. Materials for weaving include artist-designed fabrics\, wool roving\, and a selection of upcycled fabrics. \nNext to the cozy window seat installation\, a small table will offer an opportunity to write or draw your own blueprint for taking care of each other and the world\, with the chance to weave your creation into one of the looms. \n  \n  \nARTIST STATEMENT \nUsing everyday objects\, textiles\, and tools for mending\, my work explores ancestry\, domesticity\, and strategies for repair in our daily lives. Through layering\, ripping\, and transforming ordinary materials–spices\, funnels\, tape\, wool–I create objects and spaces where the familiar converses with the existential \n  \nABOUT THE ARTIST\n \nAndrea Guskin is a San Francisco Bay Area artist raised amongst the woods and college campuses of Wisconsin and Ohio. She began drawing by pillaging her father’s office supplies for fine-tipped pens and yellow legal pads\, filling them with costumed figures while lounging on a 1970s shag carpet.\nAfter studying painting at Antioch College\, Andrea moved to NYC and became a part of the visual and songwriting community on the Lower East Side. Since moving to the Bay Area in 2003\, Andrea has exhibited her work in galleries and alternative spaces throughout the state\, including the Richmond Art Center\, the Berkeley Art Center\, Swarm Gallery\, and Mercury 20 Gallery. \nBeginning in 2019\, Andrea added a participatory aspect to her work\, merging her many years in museum education and her art practice to create community art events across the Bay Area. She graduated with an MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts from Mills College at Northeastern University in April of 2023. \nAndrea currently lives in San Leandro with her husband and two sons. \n  \nABOUT THE PERFORMING ARTISTS\n\nWords\, Winds\, and Strings\nMusic and Spoken Word \nPerforming some of their favorite classical works\, from the Baroque era to the present day\, both accomplished musicians\, Amelia Romano and Asaf Ophir\, present a unique program. Their selections are interwoven with poetry and short stories\, as well as Amelia’s original compositions inspired by Latin American rhythms and folk traditions. \nFeaturing:\nAmelia Romano – Harp\, vocals\nAsaf Ophir – poetry\, spoken word\, Saxophone\, flute\, vocals \nAsaf Ophir began his professional career in musical theater in Israel\, on some of Israel’s most distinguished stages. Having moved to the United States in 2014\, Ophir can be seen playing Jewish\, Arabic\, and Balkan music. Throughout his career he has shared the stage with artists such as Miri Mesika\, Avi Kushnir\, Galit Giat\, David De’or\, Rana Farhan\, and Barbara Streisand. The San Francisco Chronicle writes: “Asaf Ophir gives the clarinet the timbre of a trumpet\, then a violin\, then a raspy scream… the instrument’s wail almost becomes too plaintive and beautiful to bear.” \nA composer\, arranger\, and trailblazer in the lever harp world\, Amelia Romano (harp\, voice) is a concertizing lever harpist. The lever harp is often played by folk musicians and designed to play folk music from countries including Ireland and Scotland. In this context\, oftentimes the lever mechanisms at the top of the instrument are set in the key of the song and left that way throughout the folk song. Conversely\, on the classical pedal harp\, one can easily change notes by stepping on the pedals. Amelia’s vision has taken on both harp worlds and tackles complex classical passages on the lever harp by shifting the mechanisms mid-song\, which is fascinating to watch. While pedal harps weigh 80 pounds\, lever harps weigh 25 making them very portable. Romano lived in South Africa for a year and has toured in Europe\, the southern United States\, and Pacific Northwest\, bringing her enthusiasm for lever harps to classical music\, wherever she goes.\nRomano received her Master’s Degree in Classical Lever Harp Performance at San Francisco State University under the tutelage of Karen Gottlieb\, retired harpist of the San Francisco Symphony. \n  \n  \n\n\nR A G A M E N C O\nIndian melodies meet flamenco jazz \nR A G A M E N C O music represents the synthesis of ancient traditions that have been linked by human and cultural migration through the centuries⁠. \nFeaturing:\nMallar Bhattacharya – Sarode\nSatish Pillai – Piano\nNilan Chaudhuri – Tabla\nLuis Jiménez – Cajón\nDevi SenGupta – Vocals\nJavier Jiménez – Guitar \nA collaboration of Spanish and Indian musicians from the Bay Area\, RagaMenco explores exciting new territories by combining haunting Indian melodies with the concept of jazz improvisation and musical traditions from Spain. Come hear ancient traditions from the Old World finding a new voice in California. \n  \n\n  \n\n\n\nSambamba\nJoyful Rio samba\, Bossa Nova\, and Pagode \nSambamba brings the joyful spirit of Rio de Janeiro’s samba\, from the mellow Bossa Nova of Jobim to the Samba Canção and Samba de Raiz of Paulinho da Viola and Martinho da Vila\, to the Samba-Pagode of Zeca Pagodinho\, Almir Guineto\, Jorge Aragão\, Revelação\, and beyond — getting everyone in the mood for a true Carioca Saturday! \nFeaturing:\nLau Paiva – Guitar\, Vocals\, Percussion\nRodrigo Lemes – Cavaquinho\, Vocals\, Pandeiro\nAndrew Scott – Pandeiro\, Tantan\, Reco-reco\, cajon\, tamborim\n+ Surprise Special Guests! \nBrazil is home to an extraordinary diversity of music\, ranging from the Samba and Bossa Nova of Rio de Janeiro\, to the Forró\, Maracatu\, Baião\, and Samba Reggae of the Northeast\, to the Sertanejo country music of Central Brazil (Brasília\, Goiânia)\, and the urban Hip-hop\, funk\, and metal scenes of São Paulo. \nSambamba is a Bay Area group that specializes in the authentic joy of samba and bossa nova\, performing in the traditional pagode de mesa party style. This style encourages guest musicians to join around the table and sing the songs that every Brazilian seems to know. The core of Sambamba is a trio\, which can expand to a quartet or quintet depending on the situation. The band members have been playing together in various Bay Area groups for the last 20 years\, and their diverse backgrounds bring an eclectic mix of influences to their music. \nLau Paiva is from Piracicaba\, São Paulo. A talented guitarist (violão) and singer\, Lau performs a wide range of Brazilian music styles and knows hundreds of songs. He loves collaborating with different musicians and has been performing for many years\, both as a soloist and as part of various small groups in the Bay Area. \nRodrigo Lemes is from Goiânia and Rio de Janeiro. He grew up with Sertanejo country music from Goiás and later became captivated by the samba and samba funk of Rio. Rodrigo has played with numerous top Bay Area musicians in groups like Grupo da Sete\, Grupo Borogodo\, and alongside Maestro Jorge Alabé. Known for his joyful energy\, Rodrigo brings dynamic vocals and rhythmic grooves on cavaquinho and pandeiro. \nAndrew Scott moved to San Francisco from London and has lived in the Mission and Bernal Heights for 40 years\, returning to London annually. He runs Studio 401\, which has been recording and producing a diverse array of artists from the Bay Area\, London\, Brazil\, South Africa\, and Argentina for over 25 years. In addition to drum-set\, Andrew plays a wide range of percussion instruments. He has performed throughout the Bay Area\, notably with his groups The Rhyth-o-matics\, Kombokwela\, and Grupo da Sete. He has also lived in Brazil and participated in Carnaval with Paraiso Samba in London and Samba Rio in San Francisco.

Through various forms of art—painting\, music\, dance\, or literature—the essence of love can be captured\, from passion to pain. Furthermore\, love inspires artists to explore universal themes that connect people\, transforming both the creator and the viewer. In short\, it invites us to reflect on how love empowers creativity and how art deepens our understanding of love in all its manifestations. \nABOUT THE PROGRAM\nRed Poppy Art House \n2698 Folsom @23rd \nCurator: Adrian Arias\, Multidisciplinary Artist \n7:07 pm  – Introductory words by Dina Zarif & Adrian Arias \n7:17 – 7:47 pm – Astrid Kusic & Mat Muntz\, Intimate-immersive South/Eastern European soundscapes \n7:50 – 8:20 pm – Bryan Dyer\, Multi-instrumentalist vocalist \n8:25 – 8:35 pm – Chun Yu\, Spiritual multimedia poetry \n8:41 – 9:11 pm – Monica Maria Fimbrez\, California music roots mixed with traditional \n9:17 – 9:55 pm – LoCura trio\, gathering sounds & stories with cajón\, guitar & voice \nTHIS IS A FREE EVENT \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.

SUMMARY:Opening of Exhibition: Corazones / Hearts by Adrian Arias
DESCRIPTION:CORAZONES/Hearts\nby Adrian Arias\nTHIS IS A FREE EVENT\n(Donation is encouraged) \nJoin us in celebrating the opening of “CORAZONES/Hearts” by Adrian Arias and music by Lalin St Juste. \nThursday\, October 3rd\, 2024\nTime: 6:30 pm \nABOUT THE PROGRAM\nRed Poppy Art House\n2698 Folsom @23rd \n\n6:30 pm – Opening \n7:00 pm – Ceviche by Adrian Arias\n7:30 pm – Music by Lalin St Juste\n8:00 pm – Adrian’s performance and audience participation\n\nOpening of Exhibition: Corazones / Hearts by Adrian Arias\n \nThis exhibition by Adrian Arias explores the symbolic meaning and form of the Heart\, navigating themes of passion and heartbreak\, both socially and personally. The heart is depicted as a dream\, a labyrinth\, and a space for connection and separation\, delving into the pain and hope tied to the organ that continuously beats like music within us. \nAs part of his emotional exploration of the heart\, Adrian will prepare ceviche\, a dish tied to his childhood and now a signature performance in his art. Additionally\, we’ll feature music by Lalin St. Juste\, a Haitian-American singer\, songwriter\, and producer whose work delves into themes of identity\, cultural heritage\, and the transformative power of rewriting stories. \nABOUT THE ARTISTS\n \nAdrian Arias (American born in Mochica Land in Peru)\nCurator/Live Painting/visual poetry \nAdrian Arias is an international multidisciplinary artist working at the intersection of visual arts\, poetry\, performance\, and social justice. 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. Arias 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 and Red Poppy Art House. Is the co-founder of Mission Arts Performance Project MAPP.  \n  \n\nLalin St Juste\nHealing music \nLalin St Juste has been a staple in the Bay Area music scene for a decade with her genre-bending band The Seshen. In 2021 Lalin officially launched her solo career with the release of her debut EP entitled ‘behind my eyes’ via 7000COILS\, a label and art house she co-founded with Dan X (KKINGBOO) that is committed to elevating the queer voices of the African and Caribbean diaspora through the creation of digital and live portals and sacred play through a wellness lens. \nLalin returns in 2022 with the first of a two-part EP series\, the first entitled Vertulie; a powerful homage to her ancestors and Haitian spirituality. Thanks to funding from the Gerbode Foundation\, Lalin St Juste collaborated with Women’s Audio Mission\, an organization established to support women and nonbinary creatives in the music industry\, to record\, engineer\, mix and master Vertulie. \nNamed after Lalin’s maternal grandmother\, Vertulie is both a love letter and sonic healing balm. The EP starts with Psalms 91\, a prayer about protection recited in French by Lalin’s devout Christian mother\, Louise St Juste. It is then followed by a swell of Haitian drums and a Vodou song dedicated to the lwa of initiation – Ayizan Vele Kete. In creating this juxtaposition\, Lalin is healing the ways in which white supremacist religion has impacted her family; the blatant denouncement of Vodou for the sake of Christianity and the internalized assimilation and xenophobia around the Haitian language. The EP then moves to Roll Call\, a calling forth of the ancestors on Lalin’s maternal side\, the first being Dame Vertulie Valbrun\, Lalin’s maternal grandmother. Wild Winds speaks to ancestral guidance and the inherent trust on the path of what is unknown \n  \nEVENT DETAILS\nThursday\, October 3rd\, 2024\nTime: 6:30 pm \nNote: Seating is first come\, first served. \nRSVP to the Facebook event:\n \n \n  \nVolunteer for this event! \n\n \n

SUMMARY:Scott Amendola\, Michael Manring\, and Karl Evangelista Trio
DESCRIPTION:Advance tickets are available online. It is advised to purchase advance tickets for this event.  \n\n\n\n\nScott Amendola\, Michael Manring\, and Karl Evangelista Trio\nA night of compositions\, improvisations\, and sonic explorations. \nFeaturing songs by each of the artists\, along with some free improvisation. \nFeaturing: \nScott Amendola – drums/percussion/electronics\nMichael Manring – electric bass\nKarl Evangelista – electric guitar \n\n\n\nSaturday\, August 10\, 2024\nTime: 7:00 pm doors\, 7:30 pm show\nAdmission: (Online) $20 – $25 (Door) $25 general\, $20 student & senior \n  \n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE ARTISTS: \nMichael Manring has probably the most unique approach to the electric bass in history. Known more for his work as a solo artist\, Manring has pushed the electric bass way beyond and is hailed around the globe for his masterful playing. He is also known for genre-bending\, and the scope of his musical abilities is vast and wide. \nKarl Evangelista ranks among a new wave of musicians pushing the traditions of jazz and experimental rock into the 21st century. Hailed by Signal to Noise magazine as “one of the most original instrumentalists and composers of his generation\,” Evangelista’s music explores multicultural concepts with sonic intensity and political fervor. \nJazz is an art form defined by surprise and uncertainty\, but one safe bet is that Scott Amendola’s presence on the bandstand means that something interesting is about to go down. The Berkeley drummer has provided a turbo-charged flow of creativity for the Bay Area music scene since the mid-1990s both as a ubiquitous sideman (Nels Cline\, Charlie Hunter\, Laurie Anderson\, etc. )\, and a bandleader with a knack for composing thrilling anthems. \nYouTube \nFacebook \nTwitter \nInstagram \n \nEVENT DETAILS\nSaturday\, August 10\, 2024\nTime: 7:00 pm doors\, 7:30 pm show\nAdmission: (Online) $20 – $25 (Door) $25 general\, $20 student & senior \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.

This Oakland-based percussionist seamlessly blends the fiery improvisations of jazz with the rich tradition of North Indian classical music. Born in 1976\, Gupta began his musical journey with jazz drumming\, but later embraced the intricacies of the tabla\, creating a unique sonic tapestry. \nHis passion for both art forms is evident in his playing. He co-founded the Brooklyn Raga Massive\, a group that pushes boundaries by fusing jazz and Indian classical. His tabla mastery is also on display with ensembles like The Supplicants and the Marc Cary Focus Trio. \nDespite starting with jazz\, the tabla has become an equally important voice in Gupta’s musical vocabulary. He skillfully weaves together complex rhythms and improvisational flair\, captivating audiences worldwide. Whether performing intricate tabla solos or driving a band with his dynamic drumming\, Sameer Gupta is a true innovator\, forging a path where jazz and Indian classical traditions meet and ignite. \nSameer is a co-founder of several noteworthy ensembles\, including Brooklyn Raga Massive\, Marc Cary Focus Trio\, Raga Kids\, VidyA\, Arun Ramamurthy Trio\, Coltrane Raga Tribute\, The Supplicants and many more.

She has created animations for documentary films about the 1960’s American civil rights movement\, the history of Japanese-American incarceration camps in California\, the impact of the criminal justice system on refugees\, and loss of native languages among immigrants.

What I thought\, art is not easy to do\, there are complications\, but that doesn’t stop me. I love art\, and thanks to it I have been able to smile again and in the future I want to be a great artist and see my parents proud of me\, that It is my wish. \nGia Ariela Pick Romero\nGia is a 19-year-old artist who since she was little liked to be around art\, she learned how to use a camera at the age of 5 years and she has been interested in art classes since 7. She is a very talented artist and has a great eye for photos when she is able to see beauty in this world.🌍 She loves to enjoy whatever she does with 100%. And she is a great student who will be a senior and graduate this next fall. She is grateful for ArtTogether with the opportunity of having fun doing what she most loves on this earth. That is her passion for being around artists\, friends and meeting new people also being doing art which is her passion in this world. 🌍 \nCindy L. \nI’m Cindy\, I do a bridge between digital art and traditional art with an interest in animation\, I aspire to create art in hopes of inspiring others. My favorite sports are scuba diving and badminton! \nEyner P. \nMis intereses son la psicologia y la lectura. Y mi sueño en el futuro es convertirme en un gran psicologo y hacer grandes avanzes en la psicologia. \n[My interests are psychology and reading. And my dream in the future is to become a great psychologist and make great advances in psychology.] \nAlona G. \nSince I was little I have been passionately drawn to art. I do not see art as just a hobby\, It became a significant part of my way of seeing and perceiving the world. The idea of “creating” acquired a different\, deeper meaning. My passion drove me to self-improvement\, and every direction of art became interesting to me. I joined Oil painting classes\, online graphic design courses\, photography\, anatomical drawing classes\, and many other varieties of art I promoted independently. The more I learn the more passionate I become about it. My artworks allowed me to express things that I could not express with words\, it became my power\, my voice. Shadow Movements project it’s a great example of the expression of my feelings through art. \n  \nABOUT THE WORKSHOP:  \n\nRed Poppy Art House has partnered up with Shadow Light Productions for a Live shadow play performance by ShadowLight artists for children and families followed by hands-on workshop.

This event is appropriate for children ages 3 to 12. \nThis FREE event creates an opportunity for youth in our neighborhood (Mission)\, who may otherwise not be able to attend such an event for lack of funds\, to have access to art education with high caliber teaching artists. By providing an opportunity to watch\, interact and play\, we are encouraging participation and engagement with a vital storytelling art form.

Their bravery\, voices\, and relentless pursuit of a better future illuminate the path forward. \n“Youth on Fire” captures this spirit of activism and resilience\, showcasing the power of youth to heal and transform. \nThrough a diverse array of artistic expressions—visual art\, music\, dance\, theatre\, and spoken word—we celebrate the unyielding determination of young people who\, despite the odds\, continue to fight for a world where healing and harmony can prevail.\nThis event is a tribute to their unwavering spirit and a call for all of us to join in their journey toward a just and peaceful world. \nABOUT THE PROGRAM\nRed Poppy Art House \n2698 Folsom @23rd \nCurator: Adrian Arias\, Multidisciplinary Artist \n7:15-7:55 – Anais Azul\, singer-songwriter\nAndean-inspired music blending tradition and electronics \n8:00-8:15 – pearl ubungen\, performer with special guests\nFluid\, interdisciplinary\, community-engaged artistic performance and actions\nWith Guitarist/Composer David James and dancer/violist Alison Cao \n8:25-9:05 – Lucian Balmer\, violin composer\, and guest\nViolinist\, vocalist\, and composer with “raga-infused” style.\nWith guest Charith Premawardhana \n9:15-9:55 – Eileen Torrez\, singer-songwriter\nOakland songwriter bridging folk-rock\, indie\, and soul genres \nTHIS IS A FREE EVENT \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.
