More info at http://adrianarias.com/ \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. 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.  Due to COVID-19 we have temporarily changed this dynamic program from an onsite to an online series. Thanks to the mastery and innovation of the presenting artists and curatorial vision we are pleased that the kaleidoscope of cultural exchange continues to be an incredibly enriching experience for the presenter and the viewer. We look forward to the days that we can safely present at our neighborhood venue and we are grateful for everyone’s ingenuity in making the online presentations meaningful and unique experiences.   \nThis program is funded by California Arts Council Impact Project Grant and Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Relief Fund and SF Art Reopening Fund.  \nWe will continue our work in presenting unique artistry to the communities that we serve. \n RED POPPY MAPP TEAM: \nCurator | Artistic Director | Managing director: Dina Zarif  \nPR and Digital Marketing: Jennie D.

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. She holds a BA in Music from SFSU\, is a multi-instrumentalist\, songwriter\, recording artist\, and has been performing and teaching for over 20 years. While mostly focusing on her original music and son jarocho (traditional music from Veracruz\, Mx)\, she also has extensive experience in various other genres such as salsa\, jazz and folk. She grew up in the Central Valley of California\, has been living in the Bay Area since 2002\, and has been studying and collaborating with musicians from Mexico since 2012. \nYou can listen to her most recent album “Nuevos Caminos” and find out more at MonicaMariaMusic.com LISTEN on Spotify\, FOLLOW on Instagram \n  \n​​The Genie \nis 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  \nLucia Lilikoi \nwill be playing songs from her fourth album\, “LUZ.” Across ten songs\, Lucia reveals her interpretation of the element of light\, offering a soothing balm\, through the theme of alliance with nature. LUZ was produced\, engineered and mixed by Lucia\, in her debut as producer/engineer. She is a singer-songwriter\, multi-instrumentalist\, producer and sound-healer born in Sevilla\, Spain\, living in the Bay Area. “Lucia’s music is pure heart nectar. She sings from the depths of her ancient soul and her voice transmits a rare beauty and refinement. Her music is not only crafted from decades of focused training and cultivation\, but is most distinctly soul medicine.” \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nPOETS\nTongo Eisen-Martin \nOriginally from San Francisco\, Tongo Eisen-Martin is a poet\, movement worker\, and educator. His latest curriculum on extrajudicial killing of Black people\, We Charge Genocide Again\, has been used as an educational and organizing tool throughout the country. He is the author of “Someone’s Dead Already”\, “Heaven Is All Goodbyes”\, “Waiting Behind Tornados for Food”\, and “Blood on the Fog”. In 2020\, he co-founded Black Freighter Press to publish revolutionary works. He is San Francisco’s eighth poet laureate. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nJosiah Luis Alderete \nis a full blooded Pocho\, Spanglish speaking poeta who has been an active part of la Area Bahia’s spoken word scene for over twenty years.

Josiah’s book of poems\, Baby Axolotls y Old Pochos is being released this year from Black Freighter Press \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nLIVE PAINTING\n\nMara Lea Brown \nis a Bay Area Artist. Her work explores human singularity and relationships through charcoal drawing\, painting and mixed media with elements from nature. Mara was born in California\, grew up in Southern Spain and moved back to the USA as an adult. Incommensurability and a search for connection are always subtly present in her work. In her portraiture\, Mara enjoys the process of learning from the individual as well as from a phenomenological exploration of the human form. Recently Mara has been working on a series of drawings reflecting on the effects of the pandemic on her community. www.maraleabrown.com \n \nPancho Pescador  \nis 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. He has worked for over a decade with children and youth all over the Bay Area.

They preconceive nothing\, except their collective approach to making music. The music of The Supplicants is entirely accessible and rhythmically swinging. Although the ensemble does not have a designated leader\, their musical explorations\, passing from one musician to another and through the entire ensemble\, develop ideas collectively and are expressed through group interplay\, rather than only in the lead instrument. \nPreview the music:  \n \nLearn more: Website | YouTube  \n  \nCOVID-19 PRECAUTIONS\n\nWe are requiring proof of full vaccination and a photo ID at the door.

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. More info here. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \nKenya Moses trio \n“Kenya Moses embodies the essence of Brazil’s bossa nova in her warm and heartfelt sound. Born in the United States\, yet connected to her Afro-Brazilian roots\, Kenya fell in love with the sounds of Brazil after 15 years performing as a classical vocalist\, flutist and professional dancer. Kenya’s vocal resonance has allowed her the opportunity to perform throughout the Western and Eastern United States\, in addition to Italy and France. With acclaimed musicians by her side\, Kenya will release her first album of bossa nova duets in late 2022.” \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nPOETRY\n  \n \nVirginia Barrett  \nIs a poet\, writer\, artist\, editor\, and educator.   Her six books of poetry include Between Looking (Finishing Line Press\, 2019) and Crossing Haight—San Francisco poems (Jambu Press\, 2018). \nVirginia Barrett’s six books of poetry include Between Looking (Finishing Line Press\, 2019) and Crossing Haight—San Francisco Poems (Jambu Press\, 2018). She has twice received a writer’s residency grant from the Helene Wurlitzer Foundation of Taos\, New Mexico\, and has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize.

Website: www.virginiabarrett.com  \n  \n  \n  \nLIVE PAINTING\n\nYtaelena Lopez \n“As a visual storyteller\, I want to build a collective narrative to allow the public to add their own interpretation. Sometimes I am straightforward when I deliver the message\, but usually a second gaze is needed to understand the intention of the piece. \nI plot an imaginary cartography of our human condition. To achieve that\, I twist the lines of the subjects into topographic landscapes. This style\, which I call Wildlines”. \nYtaelena comes from a very diverse background\, covering journalism\, art history\, literature\, linguistics and technology. This allows her to use a sheaf of theories and disciplines to assemble deux-ex-machina installations and mixed media art that connects with the public in a visceral way. \nShe has been a featured artist during stARTup Art Fair SF\, in 2015\, an Artspan Artist in Residence (2011)\, a finalist in the SECA SFMoma in 2012 and exhibited at the DeYoung Museum in 2020.
