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.

She is a nerd about traditional shadow puppets\, reads poems about horses\, and is interested in the relationship between diaspora and memory. \nIris Mendoza\nHi\, I’m Iris and I love art\, it’s something that has helped me get out of my problems\, many times I felt alone and sad but by making art I started to believe in myself and I realized that I can make someone better than me. 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 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.

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.

SUMMARY:Facing West Shadows(Free) ShadowLight residency at Red Poppy Art House
DESCRIPTION:RSVP in advance for this event! \n\n\n\n\nFacing West Shadows(Free) ShadowLight residency at Red Poppy Art House\nFree Live shadow play by Lydia Greer’s performance of Facing West Shadows: The Endless End\nJoin us for our monthly ShadowLight program at Red Poppy Art House with Lydia Greer’s performance of Facing West Shadows: The Endless End! \nLydia Greer will demonstrate a short segment of the extended cinema performance version of Facing West Shadows: The Endless End\, demonstrating shadow and mirror puppetry (phantasmagoria) and guiding audiences to create their own shadow puppets inspired by the local Bay Area natural world. \nAppropriate for children and families. Puppet-making supplies and instruction will be provided by ShadowLight. \nThis program is part of ShadowLight artists in residence at Red Poppy Art House. It is a Free Monthly program with hands-on workshop activities for families on the fourth Sunday of each month. \nFeaturing Artists:\nLydia Greer \n\n\n\nSunday\, April 28th\, 2024\nTime: 6:00pm – 7:30pm\nAdmission: FREE and Donation \nThis event is appropriate for both children and adults.\nAdmission is on a first-come\, first-served basis.\nThis event is free to the public.\nDue to limited capacity\, RSVP is strongly recommended. \n\n\n\n\nABOUT FACING WEST SHADOWS: \nFacing West Shadows: The Endless End is a cinematic\, sculptural installation also performed as extended cinema that illuminates the perpetuation of extinction and survival; the disrupted life cycles of native plants and animals\, aquatic systems\, and fire ecologies as affected by anthropogenic climate change. The viewer’s attention is guided through projected moving images\, hand-made animation\, and cast shadows with a multi-dimensional soundscape. Collapsing and expanding time\, species will live and die over the span of an hour of looping overlapping\, multichannel\, and multidirectional projection. In a sculptural environment\, our role as animals within a system and as the planet’s apex predator is illuminated. \nAs in proto-cinematic cave paintings and ancient shadow theatre storytelling traditions\, Facing West Shadows seeks to understand non-human species and our relationships with them. Among their inspirations are the Bay Area’s own precarious and diverse ecologies and Eadweard Muybridge’s electro-photographic investigation of consecutive phases of animal movements. By weaving multiple moving images of Bay Area ecologies\, mycorrhizal networks\, fire\, and water\, Facing West Shadows: The Endless End takes the viewer on a time-based and immersive journey through cycles of ecological and species extinction and sometimes\, survival. \nFacing West Shadows principal members: Lydia Greer (artistic director) and Caryl Kientz (theatrical director) in collaboration with artist Ya Wen Chien is a collective of artists\, puppeteers\, filmmakers\, and musicians hybridizing art forms to create magical acts of rebellion as experimental art that is sustainable in the current gold rush climate of the Bay Area. \nFacing West Shadows combines analog shadow theatre with original animation\, video projection of found footage\, and sometimes Opera performed live. Expanding into film\, theatre\, and installation\, Facing West Shadows depicts stories re-imagined with unique visual storytelling to create surprising experiences for the audience by seamlessly combining old and new technologies and art forms. \nFor more information\, visit the project website https://www.facingwestshadows.com/ \nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/CCGu1LZhFrE/ \n\n  \n\nABOUT THE FEATURED ARTIST: \nLydia Greer is a widely exhibiting interdisciplinary visual artist\, filmmaker\, animator\, and the artistic director of Facing West Shadows\, a Lumia arts collective working with shadow casting/ hybridizing art forms to create magical acts of rebellion as experimental art in the gold rush climate of the San Francisco Bay Area. Expanding into film/animation\, theater/opera\, puppetry\, and sculptural installation\, Facing West Shadows creates surprising experiences for the audience by seamlessly combining old and new technologies and art forms. Her layered\, mixed media work includes sculptural and video installation\, hand-made stop motion animation\, single and multiple channel video\, puppet theater\, and works with paper. \n  \nABOUT THE WORKSHOP:  \n\nRed Poppy Art House has partnered up with ShadowLight Productions for free monthly programs by ShadowLight artists for children and families. With instruction and guidance by ShadowLight teaching artists\, attendees will be given the opportunity to make a shadow puppet\, learn performance techniques\, and use our screen and lights to perform their own short plays. 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. Storytelling is an important skill; it helps us to understand ourselves and one another\, encouraging empathy. \n\n  \nShadowLight Productions was founded in 1972 by filmmaker/theatre director/shadow artist Larry Reed. We have served San Francisco as a nonprofit theater company for nearly 30 years. \nThe mission of ShadowLight Productions is to expose the general public to the art of Shadow Theater. The means of providing such exposure includes but is not limited to live theater\, film\, and other media. We strive to preserve indigenous shadow theater traditions and to explore and expand the possibilities of the shadow theater medium by creating innovative interdisciplinary\, multicultural works. \nWebsite: https://www.shadowlight.org/\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ShadowLightProductions\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/shadowlightproductions/\nTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@shadowlightproductions \n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \nEVENT DETAILS\nSunday\, April 28th\, 2024\nTime: 1:00pm – 3:30pm\nAdmission: FREE and Donation \nNote: A limited number of seats are available for this event. Reserving a ticket guarantees admission\, but does not guarantee seats.

SUMMARY:Ramana Vieira: Contemporary Fado
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\nRamana Vieira: Contemporary Fado\nExploring the music of the legendary Fado artist out of Portugal\, Amalia Rodrigues and beyond.\nThis music is sometimes called “Portuguese Blues”. Ramana’s work captures the essence of Fado and well beyond. She performs and records music that ranges from the soulful haunting ballads and catchy playful songs of Fado\, to her own original compositions. \nFado is a performance genre incorporating music and poetry. In 2011 Fado became a part of UNESCO World Heritage. Ramana is an internationally acclaimed recording artist and a northern California native of Portuguese descent. She also is a stunning vocalist\, a proficient pianist\, and a gifted songwriter who has composed\, performed\, and recorded many of her own original Fados which have been nominated for best Fado performance with the International Portuguese Music Awards. \nFeaturing:\nRamana Vieira – Voice\nJeff Furtado – guitar\nDavid Parker – bass\nVincent Tolliver – violin/viola/Portuguese Mandolin \n\n\n\nSaturday\, March 9th\, 2024\nTime: 7:00 pm doors\, 7:30 pm show\nAdmission: (Online) $25 – $30/ (Door) $25-$35 \n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE ARTISTS:  \n\nRamana is an internationally acclaimed recording artist and a northern California native of Portuguese descent. She also is a stunning vocalist\, a proficient pianist\, and a gifted songwriter who has composed\, performed\, and recorded many of her own original Fados. Several of these have been nominated at the largest Portuguese music awards organization: the International Portuguese Music Awards (IPMA). She has performed throughout California\, San Francisco\, Los Angeles\, the Central Valley\, SLO\, Portugal\, Macau\, China\, East Coast including New York\, Hawaii\, Florida the Pacific Northwest\, and Mexico. Ramana just returned this summer of 2023 headlining in her parents’ homeland of Madeira\, Portugal at the Art’Camacha festival. She was also featured on the RTP international network while in Madeira. \nOver the course of her 20-plus-year musical career and five album releases\, she has opened for Mariza and headlined at several World Music festivals. Performed for the President of the Azores\, Portugal at the invitation of Congressman Jim Costa. Her original composition\, “Unido Para Amar\,” was played at the awards ceremony for the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino\, Italy. Her music has been chosen to be featured on TAP Airlines\, the flag carrier of Portugal with over 2500 nights per week to 34 countries. Her new album\, Tudo De Mim will be out in early spring of 2023. Most recently her new single\, Fado La La La\, ranked #4 for song and her latest new video ranked 3# in North America on the Ethnocloud music platform. \nThe critics have heaped praise upon Ramana. The San Francisco Chronicle said “Ramana is the rising star in World Music” and “No one in the United States is doing more to breathe new life into Fado than Ramana Vieira\, a sultry dramatic singer.” Andrew Gilbert of The Boston Globe said “Raman Vieira deserves a prominent place in the front rank of today’s Fado singers” Vieira was born in San Leandro\, California with the beat of Portuguese rhythms coursing through her veins. Her parents had immigrated to the United States from Portugal\, where her grandfather was a well-known musician and composer from Madeira Island. She grew up listening to American pop\, alongside traditional Portuguese music. “During my childhood\, I sang with my mother to Amália Rodgrigues and other fabulous fadistas that were part of her special record collection\,” said Vieira. \nEarly in life\, it was apparent that Vieira possessed exceptional musical talent and went on to study at The American Conservatory Theatre. However\, a spontaneous trip to Portugal shifted her professional vision and catalyzed an exploration deep into the world of fado. \nIn Portugal\, Vieira connected with her roots and found that fado ignited her spirit and set her soul aflame. She began to study intensively with local fado musicians and had the opportunity to perform. She was loved by her fans in Portugal; her authentic and individual style was refreshing and well-received. \nVieira’s brilliant musicality and colorful heritage appeal to a global audience. In addition to the traditional fados\, and her masterful original compositions\, Vieira has now compiled a synergetic repertoire that reflects the full scope of her identity by incorporating her background of American theater\, blues\, and soulful classics into her sets. Through this multifaceted fusion\, Vieira has finally fulfilled her fado\, fate.\nIn her own words\, “I love being Portuguese and singing my roots. I just feel now is the time for Ramana to embrace “all of me”–my American and Portuguese heritage. I am sitting at the precipice of something amazing and excited to see where this is going to take me and my group. Yes\, it’s time.” \nShe is joined by a very talented cast of musicians: Jeff Furtado\, a Portuguese American guitarist and singer/songwriter who lives in California. His mother is from Madeira and his father is from San Miguel. David Parker on bass\, Vincent Tolliver on violin/viola/Portuguese Mandolin who taught the famous Zendaya music while teaching in Oakland\, and Joe Sam on percussion. \nWebsite: http://ramanavieira.net \n\n\n\nPREVIEW THE MUSIC: \n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \nEVENT DETAILS\nSaturday\, March 9th\, 2024\nTime: 7:00 pm doors\, 7:30 pm show\nAdmission: (Online) $25 – $30/ (Door) $25-$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.

He aims to fuse the earthy quality of folk music with forward-looking compositions and live performances\, reflecting the mixed identities of his heritage and influences. \nBorn and raised in Puerto Rico\, Pedro José Pastrana grew up in the jíbaro music tradition and was surrounded by the vocabulary of other popular sounds. This upbringing would help him develop a keen instinct for playing in settings outside of his element. As an active member of the Bay Area music scene\, Pedro has collaborated with the John Santos Sextet\, Jerry Medina\, Juango Gutierrez\, Orestes Vilató\, and Atabal\, among others. \nHis debut album\, Crónicas de la Pierna Inquieta consists of eight original tracks\, serving as snapshots of self-discovery\, inspired by the coming-of-age events of the past 13 years. \nÓskar Ly is a multi-instrumentalist\, arranger\, composer\, bandleader\, and music producer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Originally from Barranquilla\, Colombia\, his musical journey began when he was 9\, the piano being his first instrument. A self-taught artist\, he also plays guitar\, bass\, melodica\, accordion\, and Latin percussion instruments. Currently\, he is the director of Óskar Ly & Rumbalú. Óskar has collaborated with Latin music superstars Nino Segarra\, Chuchito Valdés\, Nelson Rangell\, and Sal Cuevas (bassist of Fania All Stars)\, among others. \nhttps://www.pjpastranamusic.com \nhttps://www.facebook.com/pj.pastrana.music \nhttps://www.oskarlymusic.com/ \n\n\n\nPREVIEW THE MUSIC: \n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \nEVENT DETAILS\nSaturday\, December 16th\, 2023\nTime: 7:00 pm doors\, 7:30 pm show\nAdmission: (Online) $20 – $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.
