SUMMARY:June 1st MAPP: Youth on Fire
DESCRIPTION:June 1st MAPP: Youth On Fire\nCurated by multidisciplinary artist Adrian Arias \n \n  \n  \nMAPP June 1st\, YOUTH ON FIRE\n“Youth on Fire”\nIn a world where the flames of conflict and injustice burn bright\, the youth rise as torches of hope and change. This round of our Mission Art Performance Project (MAPP) at Red Poppy Art House\, our multidisciplinary art event on June 1st\, 2024\, centers around the theme “Youth on Fire\,” inspired by the courageous and passionate responses of students from U.S. campuses about what is happening in the world and especially in the Middle East. \nIn the midst of turmoil\, young people are not just witnesses but active participants in the quest for justice and peace. 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. 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 had 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 were pleased that the kaleidoscope of cultural exchange continued to be an incredibly enriching experience for the presenter and the viewer. We are glad that the days that we can safely present at our neighborhood venue have finally arrived and we are grateful for everyone’s ingenuity in making the online presentations meaningful and unique experiences.   \nThis program is funded by the California Arts Council Impact Project Grant. \nWe will continue our work in presenting unique artistry to the communities that we serve. \n RED POPPY MAPP TEAM: \nArtistic Director | Managing Director: Dina Zarif  \nPR and Digital Marketing: Anjali Varma \nMAPP JUNE 1ST\, 2024 PROGRAM\n\n\n\n\nTime \n\nPerformance/Event\nDescription\n\nArtists \n\n\n\n\nVisual Art: Adrian Arias live painting \n\n\n\n7:15 – 7:55 pm\nAnais Azul\nAndean-inspired music blends tradition and electronics\nAnais Azul\, singer songwriter\n\n\n8:00 – 8:15 pm\npearl ubungen\nFluid\, interdisciplinary\, community-engaged artistic performance and actions\npearl ubungen\, Performer  \nDavid James\, Guitarist/Composer \nAlison Cao\, movement improv and viola\n\n\n8:25 – 9:05 pm\nLucian Balmer\nViolinist\, vocalist\, and composer with a “raga-infused” style\nLucian Balmer – Violin and vocals \nCharith Premawardhana – Viola\n\n\n9:15 – 9:55 pm\nEileen Torrez\nOakland songwriter bridging folk-rock\, indie\, and soul genres\nEileen Torrez\, singer-songwriter\n\n\n\n  \nABOUT THE ARTISTS\n\nAdrian Arias\nCurator/Live Painting \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. 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.

Since immigrating to the U.S at age 4\, they have longed to return to their motherland. This diasporic longing has led them to return to Perú to reconnect with their roots and deepen their knowledge of Andean music\, history\, and Quechua. Today\, their music transports us to a dreamy realm where Andean sounds and experimental electronic production are tied together through stories and lyrics about migration\, healing\, and resilience in three languages: English\, Spanish\, and Quechua. \nMore at: anaisazul.com or on Instagram @anaisazul \n  \n\n  \n\n\n\nSacred City \npearl ubungen\n \nSacred City | pearl ubungen is a fluid\, non-linear\, interdisciplinary\, and community-engaged array of ideas\, practices\, disruptions\, teachings\, projects\, and actions conceived and directed by choreographer/cultural activist pearl ubungen. Ms. ubungen is a fourth-generation pilipina-american born and raised in San Francisco’s Fillmore. She trained and performed with the late great master Ed Mock who died of AIDs related causes in 1986.
