If tickets sell out online\, tickets will not be available at the door.  \n\n\n\n\nJimmy Grant Trio: Django Reinhardt & beyond\nExploring the music of Django Reinhardt and beyond.\nThe Jimmy Grant Trio will perform music that follows the traditions of Django Reinhardt and his roots in the Jazz Manouche music (Gypsy Jazz) and Eastern European folk music\, as well as original compositions. \nFeaturing:\nJimmy Grant – Guitar\nNelsen Hutchison- Guitar\nSimon Planting- Bass \n\n\n\nFriday\, November 17th\, 2023\nTime: 7:00 pm doors\, 7:30 pm show\nAdmission: (Online) $20 – $30/ (Door) $30-$35 \n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE ARTISTS:  \n\nThe Jimmy Grant Trio performs primarily in the style of Django Reinhardt\, infusing swing-era pieces\, original work\, and traditional gypsy tunes with the jazz guitar pioneer’s crunchy rhythms and hot harmonies. \nJimmy Grant was recently a finalist in the John Lennon songwriting competition for his original song “Insomnia\,” and also had an interview with Guitar World for his “5 in 5″ project\, in which he wrote five different songs in five days. His style synthesizes a rich blend of Russian folk\, bluegrass\, Celtic\, and classical music while remaining true to Django’s innovative guitar technique. The Jimmy Grant Ensemble will bring together two guitars\, bass\, and violin in an intimate yet energy-charged performance. \nNelsen Hutchison grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area where he began playing guitar and developing an eclectic taste for music at a young age. He went on to pursue his musical education by studying jazz guitar at Berklee College of Music before transferring to the New School for Jazz where he received his BFA in guitar performance. Upon returning to the Bay Area Nelsen began his graduate studies as an MA student in Ethnomusicology at UC Santa Cruz. His MA Thesis explored the critical reception of soul jazz and the ways jazz organists of the 1960s signified conventional performance practices. After completing his MA\, Nelsen continued his studies at UC Santa Cruz where he is now a Ph.D. Candidate in Cross-Cultural Musicology. His PhD research employs ethnographic methods to analyze the political economy of the Bay Area jazz scene and the working lives of musicians. In addition to being a scholar and educator at UC Santa Cruz\, Nelsen also regularly performs in the region as a freelance jazz guitarist. As a performer\, Nelsen has toured with the viral Swedish multi-instrumentalist Gunhild Carling\, performed at the Monterey Jazz Festival\, and recorded mandola on Larry Polanksy’s New World Records album “These are the Generations.” \nDutch double bassist Simon Planting lives near San Francisco but studied Classical bass with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and Jazz at the Sweelinck Conservatory in Amsterdam before embarking on a professional career. He has performed in concerts and festivals the world over and has compiled an impressive discography with artists like Mathilde Santing\, Fapy Lafertin\, Jimmy Rosenberg\, Stephane Wrembel\, and John Jorgenson. Simon Planting is the DjangoFest NW Artistic Director. \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvJl4zlZdNA\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMqDqgpr-sc\nhttps://linktr.ee/ampsmasher\nhttps://www.jimmygrant.net/ \n\n\n\nPREVIEW THE MUSIC: \n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \nEVENT DETAILS\nFriday\, November 17th\, 2023\nTime: 7:00 pm doors\, 7:30 pm show\nAdmission: (Online) $20 – $30/ (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.

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. It represents a woman of Mochica ancestry in Peru\, (my culture\,) mixed with a Nukak Woman native to the Colombian Amazon\, an Ohlone woman\, and a Yuma and Pápago woman from the border area between what we now call Arizona and Mexico. \nSpanish: La imagen de esta mujer indígena está basada en cuatro mujeres nativas del territorio que hoy llamamos América. Mujeres de ascendencia Mochica en Perú\, mi cultura\, mezcladas con una Mujer Nukak originaria de la Amazonia colombiana\, una mujer Ohlone y una Mujer Yuma y Pápago de la zona fronteriza entre lo que hoy llamamos Arizona y México. \nMural Assistant: Lindsey Crawford \nMural installation: Persepolis Construction INC \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. \nABOUT THE MURALIST\n \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. 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. \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.

In addition\, Jackeline has performed and led Venezuelan music and Orff workshops nationally and internationally\, including USA\, Canada\, Costa Rica\, Japan\, Spain\, Finland\, Thailand\, Venezuela\, Brazil\, Panama\, St Croix\, Barbados\, and Ghana.

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

SUMMARY:Jazz in the neighborhood: Scott Foster & Sheldon Brown Duets
DESCRIPTION:Advance tickets are available online. It is advised to purchase advance tickets for this event. If tickets sell out online\, tickets will not be available at the door.  \n\n\n\n\nJazz in the neighborhood: Scott Foster & Sheldon Brown Duets\nGuitar and Saxophone Explorations\nThe evening will feature an Eclectic mix of jazz\, original and improvised music for guitar and saxophone in an intimate duo setting. Scott and Sheldon are reuniting after a long hiatus and look forward to sharing work from their collaboration 25 years ago and updating their work together with developments that have sprung up in the interim. This will be a concert full of surprises for both the audience and performers. \nFeaturing:\nScott Foster – Guitar\nSheldon Brown – Saxophones \n\n\n\nFriday\, August 10\, 2023\nTime: 7:00 pm doors\, 7:30 pm show\nAdmission: (Online) $15 – $30 / (Door) $35 general \n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE ARTIST:  \n\nComposer and woodwind instrumentalist Sheldon Brown has been active on the San Francisco Bay Area creative music scene and beyond for over 30 years. In addition to performing his original music with Sheldon Brown Group\, Brown has performed with a diverse array of people and groups including Anthony Braxton\, Ben Goldberg\, Omar Sosa\, Club Foot Orchestra\, Marcus Shelby Jazz Orchestra\, Clarinet Thing and Bobby Weir. His extended original composition Blood of the Air (funded by Chamber Music America and Inter Music) premiered at the 32nd Annual San Francisco Jazz Festival\, and was featured at the 16th Annual Outsound Festival. Most recently Brown performed and composed music for Club Foot Orchestra’s score for the classic silent film\, Pandora’s Box\, at the Paramount Theatre in Oakland. \nScott Foster has been a fixture on San Francisco jazz scene for over two decades. He can be heard performing regularly with his own group and as a sideman with the Americano Social Club\, B3B4 and multitude of the bay area’s finest musicians at wide variety of venues. Scott Foster’s CD’s “Basement Sinfonietta”\, “Go Small” and “Night Blooming Jazzmen” are currently available. Additionally Scott is the Performing Arts Chair and Jazz Band Director at the Urban School of San Francisco. \n\n\nJAZZ IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD: \nJazz in the Neighborhood works to improve the economics of jazz performance in the Bay Area by presenting affordable concerts\, paying musicians a guaranteed wage\, and supporting the work of established and aspiring jazz artists. \nArt • Equity • Access. \nART • Jazz is often called the one truly American art form. We honor that legacy while supporting exploration and new approaches to the genre. Jazz in the Neighborhood events provide a space for jazz musicians to be creative\, spontaneous\, and expressive in their interpretation of music. Our Emerging Artists program nurtures the upcoming generation of jazz musicians through mentoring and opportunities to learn on the bandstand. \nEQUITY • Jazz musicians have long been participants in the “gig” economy. Very few have the security of regular employment playing jazz\, especially with the decline of union representation. For many\, the economics of jazz performance has become a cut of ticket sales\, a tip jar\, maybe a free meal\, and often a day job. This kind of remuneration hardly seems fair given the knowledge\, skill\, and practice that’s required to become a jazz musician. So unlike many concert producers\, Jazz in the Neighborhood guarantees musicians a fair wage when they perform at our events. We encourage all venues to join us in paying a guaranteed fair wage to jazz musicians. \nACCESS • We believe that everyone should be able to enjoy live jazz in a comfortable\, acoustically appropriate setting at an affordable price. Many of our shows are free. When events have an admission charge\, we keep the price reasonable and never turn anyone away for lack of funds. Please take a look at our events blog and calendar page for upcoming concerts. \nhttps://jazzintheneighborhood.org/about/mission/\nhttps://sheldonbrownmusic.com/home \n\n\nPREVIEW THE MUSIC: \n\n\n\n\n \n\n \nEVENT DETAILS\nFriday\, August 10th\, 2023\nTime: 7:00 pm doors\, 7:30 pm show\nAdmission: (Online) $15 – $30 / (Door) $35 general \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.

Legary \n“SOUL TEARS” INSTALLATION | INDIRA URRUTIA\n \nIndira Urrutia\nInstallation “Soul Tears” \nIndira Urrutia is a Chilean-born interdisciplinary artist of international projection with a very personal style defined by organic elements combined in a perfect harmony that prints beautiful emotions in her work\, allowing the audience to experience different sensations and movements while watching. \nThe Pandemia has kept her stock in Barcelona for three years\, where her work inhabits time\, silence\, and memory\, where weaving interacts to create a surface\, skin\, and little by little\, a presence manifest. \nWeaving is an organic and metaphorical expression and a meditation on the nature of life. We are all bound together\, interwoven and interconnected\, in ways that we overlook in our modern lives. \nHer work has been exhibited internationally in group and individual presentations\, including The de Young Museum\, Root Division\, Mission Cultural Center\, San Francisco Symphony\, San Francisco USA; National Council of Culture and the Arts\, Pablo Neruda House Museum\, Chile; Invited to the VII Biennial of Art and Design\, Valencia\, Spain\, Real Cercle Artistic de Barcelona\, El Borsí\, Barcelona\, Spain\, Fontecchio International Airport Gallery\, Italy. \nABOUT THE ARTISTS\n \nPHOTOGRAPHY\nMarc Hors\n“Nazavzhdy” Para Siempre / Forever \n \nThe escalation of the international armed conflict in Ukraine has caused civilian casualties and destruction of civilian infrastructure\, forcing people to flee their homes seeking safety\, protection\, and assistance. Millions of refugees from Ukraine have crossed borders into neighboring countries\, and many more have been forced to move inside the country.\n“The situation is disconcerting\, this is what several Ukrainian women I talk to are telling me. They agree in shrinking the importance of material belongings\, including the roof under which they raised the children who accompany them\, and which\, as they can learn from the news\, has now turned into ruins. The real heartbreaker has been to leave their husbands fighting with rudimentary resources against a Goliath armed outright. The two typical words in any farewell “see you soon” have been replaced by “love you forever”. The chances of surviving are swinging at the rhythm of the bombs and the decisions taken by political leaders coerced by economic interests.”\nThis series of photographs were taken at the Polish border of Medyka and the town of Przemyšl during the month of March 2022. Photographs that bring us closer to a reality that\, however distant it may seem to us geographically\, puts into perspective the fragility of the social fabric that led us to develop as a civilized species. \nFormat: Fine art prints on cotton paper Size: 13 x 19” – 17 x 22” \n  \nPERFORMANCES\nMy-Linh Le\nSolo dance performance \n\nMy-Linh Le is a second-generation Vietnamese American dancer\, award-winning choreographer\, multidisciplinary storyteller\, and former environmental attorney.

DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\n\n(FREE) SF Flor Y Canto presents “Laureates in Conversation”\nPoetry reading and conversation with three poet laureates\nSF Flor y Canto Festival is proud to present an evening of poetry and conversation with three poet laureates:\n– Lee Herrick current poet laureate of California\n– David Flores current poet laureate of Richmond\n– Tongo Eisen-Martin current poet laureate of San Francisco.\nThis event will be moderated by poet Aimee Suzara. \n\n\n\nSaturday\, June 17th\, 2023\nTime: 5 pm – 6 pm \nAdmission: FREE\, First come first serve\nDonation is encouraged and appreciated. https://www.flipcause.com/secure/cause_pdetails/MTY5MTk0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE ARTISTS:  \n\n\nBorn in Daejeon\, South Korea\, and adopted at 10 months old\, Lee Herrick grew up in California. He is the author of the poetry collections Scar and Flower (2018)\, Gardening Secrets of the Dead (2012)\, and This Many Miles from Desire (2007). His poems have appeared in many literary magazines and anthologies\, including The Bloomsbury Review\, ZYZZYVA\, Highway 99: A Literary Journey Through California’s Great Central Valley (2nd edition)\, One for the Money: The Sentence as Poetic Form\, and Indivisible: Poems of Social Justice\, among others. Poet Brian Turner writes that Herrick’s poetry is “Whitman revised … with a voice that is politically engaged and rooted in compassion. Gardening Secrets of the Dead is a wise\, gorgeous book.” He is co-editor\, with Leah Silvieus\, of The World I Leave You: Asian American Poets on Faith and Spirit (2020). From 2015 to 2017\, Herrick served as poet laureate of Fresno\, California. Herrick lives in Fresno and teaches at Fresno City College and in the low-residency MFA Program at Sierra Nevada College. \nDavid Flores is an educator\, artist\, mindfulness trainer\, father\, husband\, and poet/MC. He is the current Poet Laureate of Richmond CA where he was born and raised and is passionate about creating safe spaces for self-expression using the arts and mindfulness so that folks can grow into their highest selves. \nTongo Eisen-Martin was born in San Francisco and earned his MA at Columbia University. He is the author of Someone’s dead already (Bootstrap Press\, 2015)\, nominated for a California Book Award; and Heaven Is All Goodbyes (City Lights\, 2017)\, which received a 2018 American Book Award\, a 2018 California Book Award\, was named a 2018 National California Booksellers Association Poetry Book of the Year\, and was shortlisted for the 2018 Griffin International Poetry Prize. In their citation\, the judges for the Griffin Prize wrote that Eisen-Martin’s work “moves between trenchant political critique and dreamlike association\, demonstrating how\, in the right hands\, one mode might energize the other—keeping alternative orders of meaning alive in the face of radical injustice … His poems are places where discourses and vernaculars collide and recombine into new configurations capable of expressing outrage and sorrow and love.” Eisen-Martin is also an educator and organizer whose work centers on issues of mass incarceration\, extrajudicial killings of Black people\, and human rights. He has taught at detention centers around the country and at the Institute for Research in African-American Studies at Columbia University. He lives in San Francisco. \n  \nMEET THE MODERATOR: \nAimee Suzara is a Filipino-American poet\, playwright\, and performer based in Oakland\, CA. Her mission is to create and help others create\, poetic and theatrical work about race\, gender\, and the body to provoke dialogue and social change. \nHer poetry and plays have been produced\, adapted\, and published widely\, and she has collaborated with a variety of choreographers\, musicians\, and dance companies for multidisciplinary productions. A cultural worker and professional educator for the past twenty years\, she tailors and offers lectures\, performances\, and workshops to organizations\, universities\, and classrooms. Grounded in her education and practice in the literary arts\, she also can offer individualized coaching and copyediting to guide and inspire your writing journey. \n\n \nEVENT DETAILS\nSaturday\, June 17th\, 2023\nTime: 5 pm – 6 pm \nAdmission: FREE\, First come first serve\nDonation is encouraged and appreciated. https://www.flipcause.com/secure/cause_pdetails/MTY5MTk0\n  \nRSVP to the Facebook event:\n \n \n  \nVolunteer for this event!

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. Arias has created large-scale murals for public and private businesses such as Google and the Luggage Store. As co-founder of Mission Arts Performance Project MAPP\, he conceptualizes and creates multi-sensory art experiences such as\, VideoFest\, Luna Negra\, and ILLUSION. 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. More info at http://adrianarias.com/ \n  \nABOUT THE ARTISTS\n \nMUSICIANS\n \nANAIS AZUL \nPeruvian first generation immigrant\, Anaís Azul (they/them)\, is a California-based singer-songwriter\, composer\, and teaching artist. Described as “stunningly honest and vulnerable\,” their artistry engages with music as a tool for community building\, cross-genre collaboration\, and collective healing. When the March 2020 lockdown began\, Anaís started getting their tarot cards read nearly weekly by professional readers as well as students of tarot. This inspired them to connect to their intuition and study tarot\, so they could have another tool to accomplish their mission of engaging in collective healing. Website: www.anaisazul.com \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \nTHE GENIE \n​​The Genie is an avant-garde guitarist\, multi-instrumentalist and live-looping innovator from San Francisco.  A full-time performer for twenty years\, he combines a variety of genres\, ranging from hip hop\, rock\, reggae\, and electronic\, with traditional sounds including flamenco\, jazz\, traditional Middle Eastern and Asian concepts.  One of the most original and unique performers in the world today\, he is the inventor of “g-mixing”\, a looping style that emulates traditional DJ remixing techniques using hardware in place of software. His shows combine performance art with musical innovation in highly complex but universally enjoyable experience.  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \nBARRIO MUNDIAL (members of Barrio Manouche) \nFounded by the Spanish guitarist and composer Javi Jiménez\, the group consists of a singular musical body that combines the instrumentation and signature of Jazz Manouche\, Modern Jazz\, Flamenco and Latin-American rhythms. \nBased in San Francisco\, CA the acoustic ensemble performs a repertoire of original compositions with an emotionally charged sound that is difficult to classify but instantly recognizable.\nBarrio’s international roots shine brightly in their music with members from Spain\, Quebec\, Colombia\, France\, Brazil and the United States. They are deeply influenced by a wide range of musical traditions\, and this is how the group’s unique sound is born. \nBarrio Manouche provides a tremendous live experience and transports its audience on a magical journey\, with a unique fusion of cultures and musical landscapes… an auditory and visual feast like no other. \nTAROT READING AND PAINTING\n \nJENNA FRISCH\n \nJenna started reading tarot with a mini-tarot deck on the kitchen counter in 2015 while studying massage therapy and astrology. They experience Tarot as an expression of rhythm and a medium for opening portals of experience towards greater awareness and deeper mystery. Inspired by Meditations on the Tarot and all those who have ever questioned anything\, jenna brings a sense of wonder\, curiosity\, and play to their readings.\n \n  \n  \n  \n  \nLIVE PAINTING\n\nPANCHO PESKADOR \nPeskador is a visual artist and muralist from Chile. He attended Escuela de Bellas Artes in Valparaíso and Viña del Mar\, where he was introduced to printmaking and other mediums. Due to his interest in printmaking\, in 1995\, he joined a cooperative of printmakers\, Taller de Artes Visuales (TAV)\, in Santiago\, Chile. He was quickly identified by senior artists\, Carlos Donaire and Guillermo Frommer\, who invited him to participate in shows in Chile and abroad. In 1995\, Pescador immigrated to the Bay Area\, and it is here where he developed a passion for street art. Soon after\, he began to work on public art projects\, primarily through murals. In 2003\, Pescador and other Chilean artists and intellectuals from the Bay Area founded the 9-11 Squared Collective\, a group dedicated to raising awareness about the complex relationships between the United States\, Chile\, and other Latin American countries. Through the collective\, Pescador curated several shows in the Bay Area. In 2007\, he co-authored a visual poetry book published in Lima\, Peru\, “Libro de las Sombras o Recortes de la Memoria\,” with writer Jose Antonio Galloso. In 2009\, Peskador became an active member of the Community Rejuvenation Project (CRP). Together\, they have painted more than 200 murals in the Bay Area\, Chicago\, Seattle\, Germany\, Chile\, Thailand\, and New Mexico. He is also part of “Los Pobres Artistas\,” a collective of painters\, mostly from Chile\, that founded and organized the first “Bay Area Mural Festival.” Peskador also has a prolific career as a studio artist and community painter.
