If tickets sell out online\, tickets will not be available at the door. \n\n\n\nSimone Baron & Moss trio\nChamber music\nThree charismatic improvisors join forces to present an evening of fresh new music\, graphic scores\, and improvisation\, inspired by moss\, somatic empathy\, and out there tuning systems.. The evening will feature some works in progress written and developed at the Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge Island\, where Simone is the February composer in residence\, as well as literary experiments\, graphic scores and your run-of-the-mill stunningly lyrical heartbreak song. \nSimone Baron- piano & accordion\nAlec Goldfarb- guitar\nAmelia Romano- lever harp \n\n\nSaturday\, March 4th\, 2023\nTime: 7:00 pm doors\, 7:30 pm show\nAdmission: (Online) $18 – $28 / (Door) $25 – $30 general \nMasks are required inside at all time. Proof of vaccination is required. Please be advised that no concessions will be served during the event. \n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE ARTIST:  \n\n\nSimone Baron is a polyglot pianist\, accordionist\, improviser and composer whose work “ego-less\, genre agnostic and without expectations” (JazzTimes) engages curiously and charismatically with a broad spectrum of idioms. A listener of sounds beneath\, within and beyond\, her music plays at the intersection of the familiar and the avant-garde. In 2016 Simone founded Arco Belo\, a GenreFluid chamber ensemble. Simone is a Victoria Artist and plays a Poeta XB Accordion. \nAlec Goldfarb is a Brooklyn based guitarist\, composer\, and Hindustani classical musician. Active in the NYC improvised and new music communities\, his work explores musical traits as historical vestiges of migrations\, colonialism\, geographies\, labor\, ritual. He holds a masters degree from CUNY Brooklyn College and B.A.’s from the University of Illinois in Music Composition/Theory and Philosophy\, and is currently on faculty at NYC Guitar School. \nAn eclectic blend of austere serenity and kinetic vibrancy\, Amelia Romano takes what is known about conventional harp and surpasses every time. Pulling from her roots in the cultural hotbed of San Francisco\, Amelia not only plays music from the repertoire but reprises them and creates originals. Latin American music\, jazz and classical are all genres that she touches but her music defines its own path. \n\nPREVIEW THE MUSIC: \n\n\n\n \n\n \n \nCOVID-19 PRECAUTIONS\n\nMasks are required inside at all time.

Huarango has the purpose of being an agent of diffusion of Afro-Peruvian culture in the San Francisco Bay Area\, and in all the spaces where we can take our music. \nHuarango is a contemporary proposal of Afro-Peruvian music.

Audiences enjoy the accessibility of the venues and the fun laid back approach\, as well as the diversity and quality in programming. \nIn San Francisco\, Classical Revolution hosts a regular series of performances as well as guest appearances around the Bay Area. \n \n“Cabin 19” Trio \nWorld & Balkan Music & more  \nCabin 19 began with three Balkan Camp enthusiasts during the pandemic\, performing online concerts from redwood cabins and scenic rooftops. After a few hit shows and gaining a reputation that no one was really expecting\, the three have found themselves performing together at live venues. All the more fun! Come and join us for a hafla\, a fiesta\, and a vechirka\, all rolled into one. \nFeaturing: \nAsaf Ophir – clarinet \nBalder ten Cate – cimbalom \nZina Pozen – accordion \nABOUT THE ARTISTS: \nAsaf Ophir began his career as a woodwind player in musical theater\, performing on some of the most distinguished stages in Israel.

Equally at home with classical\, jazz\, and world music\, Asaf has shared the stage with Miri Mesika\, Avi Kushnir\, Galit Giat\, David De’or\, Ustad Mahwash\, Rana Farhan\, and Barbara Streisand. \nZina Pozen  Originally from Moldova/Ukraine\, Zina grew up in a family of musicians\, playing classical piano as a child. Attending EEFC Balkan music camps inspired her to pick up the accordion. She has performed with Seattle’s Bucharest Drinking Team\, Orchestra Euphonos\, Moonshine Jelly\, Jonnie Pekelny\, Metanastys\, Cabin 19\, and other groups of musicians and friends.  \nBalder ten Cate born into a musical family\, was steeped in eastern European music from a young age.

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.

She has taught poetry workshops throughout the San Francisco Bay Area\, most recently in the MFA in Writing program at the University of San Francisco. 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. Visit her website here.  \nCURRENT WINDOW EXHIBITION:\n\nTarot in Pandemic and Revolution by  Adrian Arias\nTarot in Pandemic and Revolution\, inspired by Adrian Arias’ lucid dream of a fortune teller and cards embellished with images of viruses\, masks\, Black Lives Matter\, marches\, and protests\, is a unique 81-card Tarot deck.

DESCRIPTION:Advance tickets are available online for both shows. It is advised to purchase advance tickets for this event. If tickets sell out online\, tickets will not be available at the door. \nFreedom Sounds for the Liberated \nThis music is celebratory\, exultant\, joyous\, urgent. In the moment compositions\, as rarefied as air or the thoughts of those in communion with spirits up above. Listen to your life reflected in color frequency vibrations\, low end theoretics and multi-directional polyrhythms. \nFEATURING: \nSameer Gupta – Drumset\, Tabla\nDavid Boyce – Sax\, Bass Clarinet\nDavid Ewell – Acoustic Bass\nRichard Howell – Sax\, Percussion\, Woodwinds \n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE PROJECT: \nFeaturing talented and experienced Bay Area improvisers (David Boyce\, Richard Howell\, David Ewell and Sameer Gupta) impressively\, everything in the music is uncharted each time The Supplicants perform. 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.

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.

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.

SUMMARY:Cello for Peace with Ian Maksin (TWO SHOWS)
DESCRIPTION:WORLD-ACCLAIMED CELLIST RETURNS to SAN FRANCISCO with a CONCERT to SUPPORT PEACE in UKRAINE\n\n\n\n\n\n*We have missed our packed events\, but due to the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic and with respect to the safety of our staff\, volunteers & artists\, we must operate at a limited capacity. We can only accommodate 25 guests per show. Please purchase your tickets soon.   \n\n\n*Please be advised that no concessions will be served during the event* \nAdvance tickets are available online for both shows. 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 FEATURING:\nIan Maksin – cello\, vocals \nCellist\, composer and multilingual vocalist singing in 30 languages Ian Maksin returns to San Francisco as part of the North American tour to support peace in Ukraine. Portion of the ticket and merch proceeds will go to humanitarian relief funds. Ian will sing in Ukrainian\, Polish\, French\, Italian\, Yiddish\, Farsi\, Armenian\, and several other languages and will also share original instrumental music from his last year’s release “The Alchemist”\, as well as some brand new compositions that haven’t been recorded yet. \nABOUT IAN MAKSIN: \nBREAKING BOUNDARIES both musical and geographical\, cellist\, composer and multilingual vocalist IAN MAKSIN has created his own unique style by blending elements of different genres and traditional music from around the globe in a new way using his cello as the main unifying force. \nONE-MAN ORCHESTRA: In addition to cello\, he used an electronic device called the loop pedal\, which allows him to create “loops” or layers by recording and replaying his own playing in real time. \nSINGING IN 30 LANGUAGES: What began as a hobby and a passion for linguistics and travel has become part of a unique concert experience. At this time Ian Maksin sings in Ukrainian\, Polish\, Russian\, English\, Farsi\, Armenian\, French\, Italian\, Arabic\, Hebrew\, Mongolian\, Bambara (one of the tongues spoken in West Africa) and many other exotic languages. Most of this repertoire was amassed by Maksin during his world travels\, jam sessions and collaborations with local musicians. Many of his original songs and instrumental compositions are also infused with flavors of ethnic music from countries and regions where he drew inspiration from: Mongolia\, West Africa\, Middle East\, the Balkans\, Andalusian flamenco. \nTHE GLOBAL MUSICIAN: Ian Maksin was born in Leningrad\, former USSR\, into a multinational family and grew up absorbing many cultures and traditions from an early age. He began playing guitar and piano at age 3 and cello at age 6 at the School for Gifted Children in Leningrad and then came to the USA at 16 to continue studies at the Manhattan School of Music in New York City. After working for many years in the classical genre including a three-year tenure with the New World Symphony in Miami Ian has decided to look for his own musical path. His diverse musical experience\, including playing rock and blues guitar and passion for jazz and world music has allowed him to take the cello to a new dimension and develop his own distinct style as a musician and composer. In Ian’s own words: “At some point I realized that music is much more than mere entertainment. Music is one of most powerful and unifying forces in the world\, capable of healing\, inspiring\, bringing people together and bringing peace among them. I believe that cello will save the world”. \nPreview the music:  \n \nLearn more: Website | YouTube | Instagram | Facebook | Twitter \n  \nEVENT DETAILS\nTime: (First Show) 6:30 pm doors\, 7:00 pm show / (Second Show) 8:30 pm doors\, 8:45 pm show\nAdmission: (Online) $25-30 / (Door) $35 general\, $25 student & senior with valid ID\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 seats.

They have crafted original and genre bending songs with latin american roots. Their setup is intimate but playful. Their songs are like instant pictures of their own relationship and life\, most recently regarding themes such as parenting\, social and political issues in their home country\, and global climate crisis. \nFeaturing: \nMaria Laura Bustamante – Vocals and keyboard \nAlejandro Rivas -Vocals and Guitar \nABOUT THE ARTISTS: \nDuo\, bandleaders\, life partners and co-authors from Perú. Since 2009\, Alejandro y María Laura have published three records\, one EP\, thirteen singles and two compilatory albums with deeply felt songs such as “Agüita del Equilibrio” and “Una fiesta cualquiera”.   \nThe couple has recorded songs with renowned latin american artists\, among them\, Andrea Echeverri (Aterciopelados)\, Kevin Johansen\, Paulinho Moska\, Perotá Chingó\, Juan Campodónico and Susana Baca.  \nIn the past years they have been awarded with the Ibermúsicas award for songwriting (2016)\, the Luces award from Diario El Comercio and a Golden Record for the álbum Paracaídas.

Her musical style expresses the union of American Roots and Iranian Tradition\, a blend of folk\, soul and blues infused with Iranian vocals\, melodies and poetry. She combines her study of Iranian Classical music with her decades of experience in American songwriting craft to tell the story of her unique perspective with longing\, hope\, humor and depth. Adrienne is a multi-instrumentalist and accompanies herself on guitar\, piano\, and Iranian Setar. She will showcase several songs she has composed during the pandemic and a few re-imagined classics. \n \nPedro José Pastrana | Puerto Rican Cuatro \nMusic for an (extra) ordinary future with an instrument from the past \n“What does it mean to create and play Puerto Rican music? To capture that duality\, the compositions for this performance make use of cultural elements but outside of their traditional context\, by combining the melodic elements of folk music\, jazz harmonies and Afro-Puerto Rican rhythms”. \nFeaturing: \nPedro José Pastrana – Cuatro \nABOUT THE ARTIST: \nPedro José Pastrana grew up playing the national instrument “cuatro”. His passion for discovery got him to move out his native Puerto Rico and travel different countries allowing him to explore other musical cultures. After years as a sideman\, all of these collaborations have been the spark for this original project\, fusing all of his influences into one story. With a passion for genre bending rooted in folk music\, Pedro brings his dynamism to the fore and shows the versatility of the instrument in popular and world music.” \n \nThe Making-of “THIS WORLD IS YOURS” \nSneak preview of Mostly Kosher’s newest album\, ​​Experimental Judaic cultural genre & Klezmer-Rock \nIn this engagement\, Mostly Kosher’s bandleader Leeav Sofer and premiere violinist and co-founder\, Janice Mautner Markham\, will guide the audience through multiple songs off of the album and the multiple layers of cultural history that informed each original\, new song. This musical journey will explore ties to historical composers\, Jewish diaspora languages as well as the social justice themes tied to the band’s outreach work in Skid Row. \nFeaturing: \nleeav sofer – Vocals\, Piano\, Accordion\, Clarinet \nJanice Mautner Markham – Violin \,Vocals \nALBUM DESCRIPTION: \nMOSTLY KOSHER\, the acclaimed Los Angeles Klezmer-Rock band\, boldly redefines their musical genre with a much anticipated 2nd album\, This World is Yours. The ensemble takes the listener through a timeline of history with modern protest music\, toppling norms of intolerance and indifference. Birthed into an urban jungle of street Jewish folk music\, we are led through deserts\, wars\, failures\, triumphs\, love & survival.  \nThe first song begins with footsteps into a shtetl (village) leading us into the depths of old world Judaic folk music\, tavern-style! The album’s odyssey quickly twists into the modern era\, inspired by the great rock operas of Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust and Decemberists’ Hazards of Love\, to reimagine messages of social justice\, mutual understanding\, sabotaged love and unstoppable joy. The album stands as a natural successor to the Judaic roots genre\, and reminds society to pass this age-old message on to future generations: “You save one life\, you save the world” – The Talmud. The title track is amply named: this world is yours. \nABOUT THE ARTIST: \nLed by frontman Leeav Sofer\, one of Jewish Journal’s “30 under 30” most accomplished professionals in the Los Angeles Jewish diaspora\, Mostly Kosher is comprised of some of the highest regarded Los Angeles musicians: violinist Janice Mautner Markham\, drummer Eric Hagstrom\, bassist Adam Levy\, accordionist Gee Rabe\, trombonist Taylor Covey and Aníbal Seminario on clarinet and sax.  \n  \nCURRENT EXHIBITION: Paintings & Tarot in Pandemic and Revolution by Adrian Arias\n  \nPaintings in Pandemic and Revolution | Adrian Arias\nThe current exhibition on view in walls of The Red Poppy Art House \n \nARTIST STATEMENT \nAdrián believes that poetry is in constant motion\, and that feeds on each discipline to continue among us. Sometimes it is a photograph of a feather lying on the shore\, sometimes a book-object that seems to tell us the future\, sometimes the body moving slowly between blue lights to go dancing with paper and umbrellas\, without rain. The absurd\, the light\, the sensual\, the shadow\, the dreams\, are often elements in the daily life of Adrian\, who in addition to declaring himself a Poet in motion\, is an art teacher and a cultural organizer of events. \n \n“During 2020 Adrian returned to an old style of painting that he used in Lima\, Peru in the 80s\, one that was baptized as” Virus Style “\, because it is based on painting and spontaneous writing\, which grows rapidly with the motivation of what we hear or see around us. \nThese works are the result of collaborations and virtual conversations with friends from different parts of the world. Adrian was connected with poets and musicians from Argentina\, Mexico\, Nicaragua\, Peru\, and various states of the USA\, creating several of the pieces in this exhibition live\, online. In addition\, Adrian spent some time creating his “Monsters of the Day”\, showing his feelings about the pandemic\, which are also part of this exhibition. \n  \nTarot in Pandemic and Revolution | Adrian Arias\n \nTarot in Pandemic and Revolution\, inspired by Adrian Arias’ lucid dream of a fortune teller and cards embellished with images of viruses\, masks\, Black Lives Matter\, marches\, and protests\, is a unique 81-card Tarot deck. It is accompanied by an exquisite book of poetry\, created by 67 internationally-recognized artists and poets (24 visual artists\, 43 poets) with deep ties to the San Francisco Bay Area\, who span three generations. These award-winning poet laureates\, novelists\, authors\, muralists\, painters\, graphic artists\, performance artists\, composers\, musicians\, and dancers are each committed to social\, environmental\, food\, public health\, and climate justice\, and have used their powerful talents to create tarot images and poems in response to the critical times we are living in.

Dating back centuries\, with extraordinarily elaborate rules & systems to govern pitch\, rhythm and structure\, Indian Classical Music is one of the most ancient classical traditions on earth and at the very heart and soul of Indian music is the raga. The music is completely improvised and the raga slowly expands from a single note outward to complex waves of rhythms and virtuosic passages. Lal will also present some composition(s) from various forms of Indian classical\, folk and devotional repertoire which will reflect strong influences from his experiences in jazz\, Irish music and free improvisation. With his ingenious interpretations of Indian Classical Music on a Western instrument\, Utsav Lal’s  music is captivating with great range and variety in tempo\, dynamics and emotion and is known for its powerful intensity. \nFeaturing: \nUtsav Lal – Piano \nABOUT THE ARTIST: \nIndian pianist/composer UTSAV LAL\, often known as the ‘Raga Pianist’ is recognised as the rarest of pianists. Stunning the world with his innovative handling of Indian Classical Music on a Western instrument\, The Irish Times describes Utsav Lal as “a fleet-fingered performer whose best moments can be both highly evocative and dazzling.” Lal’s ground-breaking work has garnered an impressive career spanning two decades\, with solo performances at world famous venues like Carnegie Hall (New York)\, Southbank Centre (London)\, Kennedy Center (Washington DC)\, Steinway Hall (New York)\, Asia Society (HongKong)\,  Arts Center (Melbourne). \nTreading the careful line between an ancient tradition and the innate desire for innovation with utmost respect\, Lal’s music is acclaimed for its sincerity\, depth and powerful intensity. With unfailing clarity of technique and  rhythmic virtuosity\, his work is deeply influenced by Dhrupad and  gains inspiration from a vast array of sources such as The Necks\, Thelonious Monk\, Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou and Cecil Taylor. Lal has challenged commonly understood ways of improvisation to develop his own unique voice for the piano\, taking stage at leading festivals including Novara Jazz (Italy)\, San Francisco Silent Film (USA) AsiaTopa Festival (Australia)\, Masters of Tradition (Ireland). \nEndorsed as Young Steinway Artist\, TiE Aspire Young Indian Achiever\,\, Yamaha Jazz Scholar\, Lal has been recognized for his extensive collaborative work with Irish\, Scottish\, Jazz and Experimental artists including leading names like  Winifred Horan\, Martin Hayes\, Dennis Cahill\, Australian Contemporary Circus Theatre CIRCA\, Talvin Singh\, George Brooks\, Rajna Swaminathan. Lal has 7 solo record releases which include a historic world’s first album on the microtonal “Fluid Piano” (2016). Lal holds a Masters in Contemporary Improvisation (New England Conservatory of Music)\, Bachelor’s in Jazz (Royal Conservatoire of Scotland)  and is a disciple of  Dhrupad vocalist Ustad F.

Sometimes it is a photograph of a feather lying on the shore\, sometimes a book-object that seems to tell us the future\, sometimes the body moving slowly between blue lights to go dancing with paper and umbrellas\, without rain.

Adrian was connected with poets and musicians from Argentina\, Mexico\, Nicaragua\, Peru\, and various states of the USA\, creating several of the pieces in this exhibition live\, online. In addition\, Adrian spent some time creating his “Monsters of the Day”\, showing his feelings about the pandemic\, which are also part of this exhibition. \n  \nTarot in Pandemic and Revolution | Adrian Arias\n \nTarot in Pandemic and Revolution\, inspired by Adrian Arias’ lucid dream of a fortune teller and cards embellished with images of viruses\, masks\, Black Lives Matter\, marches\, and protests\, is a unique 81-card Tarot deck.

It captures the suffering\, nostalgia\, intensity and fire of the Argentine people.  \nIn this performance\, Pablo will perform a part of Horacio Salgán piano transcriptions\, which is the result of almost two years of decoding this rare recording into a studio album and a music book with all the scores and research notes of the project. The repertoire will feature traditional tango and some of the original work by the Maestro. \nABOUT THE ARTIST: \nPablo Estigarribia is a Latin Grammy nominee and world-renowned tango pianist\, arranger and composer. Like many artists of this genre\, he began his training as a classical musician and soon branched out into the world of tango. He studied at the National Conservatory in Buenos Aires\, where he won the Bienal Juvenil National Competition for Young Artists. After graduating\, he spent several years on the frenzied performance circuit in Argentina\, collaborating with the Congress Chamber Orchestra\, the National Radio Orchestra\, and the Chaco Symphony\, among many others. Seeking to broaden his musical horizons beyond the classical realm\, Estigarribia took a brief detour through jazz and then discovered tango in 2005. He quickly won the Orquesta Escuela de Tango scholarship and performed with this superb ensemble under the direction of Maestro Emilio Balcarce. Estigarribia continued working with Balcarce shortly thereafter when he first toured Europe. \nEstigarribia rapidly established himself as a nuanced and masterful tango performer in Germany\, France\, Belgium\, Japan\, Russia\, Finland\, Canada\, the United States and Cuba. He has been featured in over a thousand concerts\, joining Argentine tango legends like Maria Graña\, Victor Lavallén\, Leopoldo Federico\, Nestor Marconi\, Horacio Cabarcos\, Emilio Balcarce and many others. Estigarribia’s album Tangos Para Piano (EPSA) won the prestigious 2015 Gardel Prize for Best Tango Album by a New Artist. After receiving wide acclaim for this album\, he earned coveted recognition from the Argentine tango industry as an expert in the art of tango music. He is a recipient of the Argentine Tango Society’s Medal of Honor for his educational forays at the Stowe Tango Music Festival (Vermont\, USA) in multiple years. Estigarribia’s ascendancy brought him to Japan in 2016 where he was lauded in the Tokyo press following his performances. He then became sought after in the United States\, where he played in New York’s famous Blue Note Jazz Club. He has made performance and interview appearances on NBC\, Univision\, Telemundo\, and The Huffington Post. Estigarribia splits his time between his native Buenos Aires\, Argentina\, and New York City. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nIstanbul Connection \nOld school Balkan Latin folk music in a funky Bay Area context \nFeaturing: \nKata Miletich – vocals\nRaul Vargas – vocals and cajon \nHaluk Kelecioglu – vocals\, oud and violin\nGreg Jenkins – vocals\, clarinet and saxophone\nDanny Cao – trumpet\nJoaquin Zamudio – bass\nBob San – guitars\nMelissa Cruz – drums and flamenco dance \n  \nABOUT THE PROJECT: \nIstanbul Connection is a Bay Area musical collective formed in 2015 when 13 members of the hottest Balkan and Latin bands were gravitationally pulled to visit the city of Istanbul. With a mind towards cross-cultural connection and sonic expansion\, these die-hards flew 7\,000 miles to represent a piece of the Bay Area music scene. In the process\, they have cemented themselves as a supergroup of groove and since their epic beginnings\, the band has performed sold-out-show after sold-out-show. They continue to draw their inspiration from the Turkish Maqam\, Flamenco\, Rumba\, Balkan\, and Cumbia they are so deeply rooted in. \n  \nCURRENT EXHIBITION: Paintings & Tarot in Pandemic and Revolution by  Adrian Arias\n  \nPaintings in Pandemic and Revolution | Adrian Arias\nThe current exhibition on view in walls of The Red Poppy Art House \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nARTIST STATEMENT \nAdrián believes that poetry is in constant motion\, and that feeds on each discipline to continue among us.

The music combines the melodic elements of folk music\, jazz harmonies\, and Afro-Puerto Rican rhythms.” \nFeaturing: \nPedro Pastrana –  Puerto Rican cuatro \nABOUT THE ARTIST: \nPedro José Pastrana grew up playing the national instrument “cuatro”. His passion for discovery got him to move out of his native Puerto Rico and travel to different countries allowing him to explore other musical cultures. After years as a sideman\, all of these collaborations have been the spark for this original project\, fusing all of his influences into one story. With a passion for genre-bending rooted in folk music\, Pedro brings his dynamism to the fore and shows the versatility of the instrument in popular and world music.”    \n  \n \nJourney To A Mystical Realm \nEthno-Electro World Music from Arabia to India \nFeaturing: \nNarayan Sijan- Composer\, Producer\, Vocalist\, Instrumentalist\, Electronics \nABOUT THE ARTIST: \nComposer\, producer\, multi-instrumentalist & vocalist Narayan Sijan lived on the Silk Road from 1994-2006\, learning & performing music with mystics\, masters & locals.

This means my work is often driven by subject matter that I have personal experience with; subjects from my daily life that challenge me. Paper trash\, found objects\, and site-specific materials become important in my work because of the experiences they reference. In public works\, I produce images with the materials brought to the project by participants\, and the result is the product of some form of dialogue. In my paintings and sculptures\, the materials are borrowed from everyday life and are transformed\, or are represented as subject matter. In either case\, I enjoy finding meaning in the little bits of refuse that are leftover from my daily life. \n  \nONLINE EVENT DETAILS \nTime: June 5th\, 2021\, 7:00 pm -10:00 pm  \nAdmission: Free (donations are encouraged) \nTune in 10 minutes before each event starts to test your devices for connection. \nThe event will be streamed live through the Red Poppy Art House Facebook page \n\n \n  \nDONATE

Ami received her Master of Fine Arts from the California Institute of the Arts. Her performance and recording credits include theater\, television (NBC). She is a freelance performing artist as well. She is endorsed by Latin Percussion (LP) and Rhythm Tech. \nHer last album\, História do Choro with Duo Violão Brasl + 1 was released in 2019 and was celebrated as one of the best jazz albums from the Bay Area for 2019. (Andy Gilbert\, San Jose Mercury News) She is a two-time San Francisco Arts Commission Individual Artist Recipient 2018 and 2020. \nSaxophonist/clarinetist Harvey Wainapel has his feet firmly planted in two musical worlds. His jazz experience has led to performances and/or recordings with the likes of McCoy Tyner\, Kenny Barron\, Joe Henderson\, and the Metropole Orchestra. He has toured internationally with Ray Charles\, Joe Lovano\, and Airto Moreira/Flora Purim. \nClaudia Villela’s voice gets all the attention\, and it’s easy to understand why. Her glorious five-octave instrument is one of the wonders of jazz\, lithe and startlingly beautiful in every register. Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro\, she sings mostly in Portuguese\, interpreting lyrics with keen emotional insight and supple rhythmic command. A supremely inventive scat singer\, she has honed a vivid vocabulary of sounds that can evoke the hollow thump of a tabla drum\, the muted trumpet of Miles Davis\, the insistent twang of a berimbau\, the ethereal call of a flute\, or the distortion-laden Stratocaster licks of Jimi Hendrix. In recent years\, Villela’s international reputation as a performer and composer has continued to grow through appearances at the world’s most prestigious jazz festivals and clubs. \nA master of both 6 and 7 string guitars\, Rogério Souza is one of the foremost representatives of the music of Rio de Janeiro. Rogério is constantly producing and performing in concerts and events that showcase traditional Brazilian music\, especially Samba and Choro. He has worked with a multitude of world class Brazilian Musicians as musical director and producer for concerts\, TV shows\, CDs\, and DVDs. Some of these artists include: Baden Powell\, Paulinho da Viola\, Sivuca\, Ney Matogrosso\, Altamiro Carrilho\, João Bosco\, Paulo Moura\, Ivan Lins\, Guinga\, Turíbio Santos\, Rafael Rabello\, Cristovão Bastos\, Nó em Pingo D’agua\, Época de Ouro\, Elizeth Cardoso\, Elza Soares\, João Nogueira\, Dona Ivone Lara\, Nelson Cavaquinho\, Guilherme de Brito\, Delcio Carvalho\, Martinho da Vila\, and Zeca Pagodinho. \nEdinho Gerber possesses a rich musical vocabulary developed in the two countries where he was raised: the United States and Brazil. Navigating effortlessly between the genres of choro\, jazz\, samba\, and blues\, he is always in search of the intersection points within his dual cultural identity. A staple in the Chicago music scene for many years\, he was a highly in-demand sideman having played with countless U.S.-based Brazilian groups\, including Som Brasil\, Renato Anesi Trio\, A Cor do Brasil\, and led the samba-jazz group Zona Sul. \nDancer: Vanessa Agle Isaac is a performer\, choreographer\, dance educator\, producer\, and writer. She is the artistic director and choreographer for the Vanessa Isaac Dance Company. Her choreography finds inspiration in her homeland\, Brazil. In her work\, she fuses Contemporary dance with Samba and diverse Brazilian dances and rhythms.\nVanessa co-directed and co-produced the show “From Africa To The Americas”. Choreographed and danced for the show of “Raoni\, Um Tango a Brasiliera” music by Brazilian composer Paris Psaros. She has been a guest choreographer and performer for the Los Angeles International Jazz Festival\, Anatomy Riot Contemporary Dance Project in Los Angeles\, Heal the Ocean Organization\, and for the Santa Barbara Choreographers Forum.\nOther illustrious guests: Ronaldo do Bandolim (Mandolin)\, Whatson Cardoso (Clarinet)\, Tiago Souza (mandolin) Mayte Correia (vocals) Felipe Tauil (percussion)\, Jane Lenoir\, (Flute) Brian Moran (Cavaco/guitar) \, Zack Pitt-Smith (Reeds) and the youth choro-stra\, Clarice Cast (Brazilian percussionist in LA) and harpist Liza Wallace (LA) ”\n_______________________________\nLEARN MORE:\nwww.amimo.com FB: @amimolinellihart \n \n  \nEVENT DETAILS\n \nTime: 7 – 8 pm\nAdmission: (Online) FREE  \nRSVP to the Facebook event:\n \n \n  \n

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 the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Relief Fund and California Arts Council Local Impact Grant and will continue our work in presenting unique artistry to the communities that we serve. \n  \nRED POPPY MAPP TEAM: \nCurator: Dina Zarif / Artistic Director  \nTech support and moderator: Leeav Sofer \nPR and Digital Marketing: Jennie D.

These collages will function as a kind of interpretive portrait of a place\, one that reflects the way we see it and use it. \nMATERIALS \n      \n  \nA printed map of your house\, block\, neighborhood or city\, glue stick\, or elmer’s glue\, scissors\, cardboard and/or drawing paper\, drawing pencil\, pens\, watercolors\, brushes\, and paper scraps such as paper bags\, receipts\, junk mail\, flyers\, clean food packaging. Anything you can think of. \n                 \nNext Level Materials  \nReady to go pro? Use an exacto knife and cutting mat instead of scissors. Use an illustration board instead of cardboard. Use PVA glue and a brush instead of a glue stick. \n \nARTIST BIO: \nLauren Bartone is grounded in an interdisciplinary balance of painting\, community dialogue\, and \ncollective work. After initially studying painting in Florence\, she completed a BA in fine art at UCLA in 2002. This was followed by an MA in Education at UC Berkeley in 2005 and an MFA at VCFA in 2012. In 2015 she produced her project A City in Maps as artist in residence at the deYoung Museum of Art in San Francisco\, and later created other interactive projects with the deYoung\, including Paradise and A Map for the Centennial of the Panama Pacific International Exposition. Additional artist residencies include Kala and Art Works Downtown. In 2016 she partnered with the San Francisco Arts Council to make SF New City Atlas for the Art on Market Street poster series\, and more recently she produced a series of paintings and small sculptures exploring the value of domestic labor for her solo show 16 Tons\, at the College of Marin Gallery. Her work has been generously supported with grants by the Pirkle Jones Foundation\, the Marin Arts Council\, and the VCFA Levin/Lutz Award. She currently lives with her partner and three children in downtown San Rafael. \nFor You \n\n \n  \nCURRENT WINDOW EXHIBITION: APRIL – JUNE\nPortrait of Place | Lauren Bartone \nThe current exhibition on view in the windows of The Red Poppy Art House \n \nARTIST STATEMENT \nMaking art is how I raise a question or explore a problem. This means my work is often driven by subject matter that I have personal experience with; subjects from my daily life that challenge me. Paper trash\, found objects\, and site-specific materials become important in my work because of the experiences they reference. In public works\, I produce images with the materials brought to the project by participants\, and the result is the product of some form of dialogue. In my paintings and sculptures\, the materials are borrowed from everyday life and are transformed\, or are represented as subject matter. In either case\, I enjoy finding meaning in the little bits of refuse that are leftover from my daily life. \n\n\n\n			\n				\n						\n			\n								\n			\n		\n							\n			\n							\n				\n						\n			\n								\n			\n		\n							\n			\n							\n				\n						\n			\n								\n			\n		\n							\n			\n							\n				\n						\n			\n								\n			\n		\n							\n			\n									\n					\n		\n		\n	\n\nPROGRAM (ONLINE) APRIL 3rd\n \nVideo: “ASIAN AMERICAN BLUES” by Kyoko Takenaka \n“HOME IN ASIAN AMERICA” \nMultimedia + Live music + q&a from artist Kyoko Takenaka \nDirector\, musician\, filmmaker\, and actor Kyoko Takenaka will perform “If We All Wait\,” a powerful song about Asian American history; and share segments from their multimedia piece\, “HOME\,” and “Kung Flu Virus: Come Fly Me Away” followed by a short Q&A. \nArtist Statement \nAs a first generation Japanese-American artist living in Tongva Land\, I have found myself yearning to explore just what it means to “go back to your country” during the time of COVID-19—when Anti-Asian hate crimes continue to rise in America. I have never lived in Japan and grew up in the states all of my life. But this land\, Tongva land\, was never ours to claim and it feels Asian- Americans are constantly and starkly reminded that no matter our journey\, no matter how many decades or generations of pursuing the American dream\, we can always belong\, but rarely feel a complete belonging. \n        I compare my yearning to my parents: \n       What myths do we each hold about the promise of faraway places? \nDedicated to Vicha Ratanapakdee\, Soon Chung Park\, Hyun Jung Grant\, Suncha Kim\, Yong Yue\, Delaina Ashley Yaun\, Xiaojie Tan\, Daoyou Feng\, and all of our Asian-American elders who moved to America\, with this promise and hope of faraway places. \nVideo: KUNG FLU VIRUS: COME FLY ME AWAY \nWhy are you keeping me here? You said I don’t belong here – Kung flu Virus\, come fly me away.” \n “I feel like I’m exploring three sides of me here in Japan – \none that feels distinctly American\, that feels like a lucky giddy visitor taking it all in for the first time; one that deeply and ancestrally remembers the familiarity of this land and can finally breathe easier and tread lightly; \nand the curious non-binary Asian-American artist that holds both dualities\, and explores a new creative space where their art is no longer driven entirely by diasporic anger. \nBut it’s that same curiosity that is often met with this deep isolation and knowing—that no matter where I physically go\, I will never be separated from this rooted anger and grief\, or be able to escape the never-ending longing for home.” \nVideo: “Home” by Kyoko Takenaka Video info: “These are real-life audio recordings from men who came up to me in bars. I made this film\, HOME\, encapsulating over 7 years of recorded micro-aggressions. It’s a visual + sonic collage of my experiences growing up in America as an Asian-American femme.” – Kyoko Takenaka  \nIn “Home\,” artist and filmmaker Kyoko Takenaka unveil a visual and sonic portrait of belonging and memory in four chapters. Calling upon the experiences that underline their otherness as an Asian-American\, the film chronicles their contemplations through original song and poetry\, as well as video clips\, audio recordings\, and digital conversations captured from real-life experiences over the span of seven years. Through references to pop culture\, racist imitations of Asians\, and a defining return to their childhood home\, “Home” is a multimedia statement on how the affirmation of culture\, resistance\, and resilience can disrupt enduring myths and redeem our histories. \nABOUT THE ARTIST: \nKyoko Takenaka (they/them) is a multi-disciplinary performance artist\, actor\, musician\, filmmaker\, and movement facilitator based between Tongva land (L.A.)\, Tokyo\, and London. Their name Kyoko means “vibrations of sound child” in Japanese. Kyoko believes in artistic expression as a conduit for personal and collective liberation and is constantly exploring un-binary ways of thinking\, moving\, and creating. \nTakenaka’s multimedia piece\, “Home\,” has garnered much attention in the media this past week\, and has been recognized by the Japan Film Festival\, L.A. Shorts International Film Festival\, the Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival\, and performed at the Japanese American National Museum and the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival. \nThey are also the guitarist/singer-songwriter of the queer multi- continental band\, ‘Wastewomxn’\, channeling diasporic experience and Afro-Asian unity and liberation through their work. \n____________________________________________________________________________ \n \nA little bird\, a little light \nStories of spring sung with gayageum \nA folky Korean tune from China\, a yearning waltz from Brazil\, and a midcentury ballad from the States\, plus Joyce’s original songs on gayageum  \nFeaturing: \nJoyce Kwon – voice & gayageum (traditional Korean instrument) \nABOUT THE ARTIST: \nJoyce Kwon is a singer\, composer\, and gayageum player making folk music for folks of the diaspora. She released her album “Dream of Home” for those who reside in between\, marginalized in their homeland and out of place in the motherland. A graduate of UC Berkeley\, Joyce is the eldest of three sister bears (go bears!) and got her master’s degree in jazz voice at the Manhattan School of Music\, before continuing her gayageum studies in Seoul. She now resides in Los Angeles\, looking forward to a future of sitting in cramped restaurants with friends and wearing shoes without holes. \n____________________________________________________________________________ \nAli Dineen \nSongs from the Saint Joan Suite \nAli Dineen will perform songs from the work in progress\, the Saint Joan Suite\, based on the life and transgender identity of the historical figure and Saint Joan of Arc.

Thread and cord are sewn\, tied and knotted: they speak of the tight ropes we all walk\, each step composed of mundane and extraordinary moments\, containing influences both known and unknown. The work is designed to move beyond the boundaries of the art object\, mapping paths that become routes of connection and experience.  \n \nHold me in the Palm of your Hand\, the current exhibition on view in the windows of The Red Poppy Art House\, began during the first two months of sheltering in place in 2020. Missing friends and family\,  I started asking them to send an image of their palm. Staring at the lines of their palm\, I began to sew them into the canvas: building the lines of my loved ones little by little\, piece by piece\, brought me closer to them in my mind. The paintings created alongside them speak of the water\, land\, and bridges that lie between the people represented as palm lines as well as the tangible absence and distance that exists between us.  For more info please visit www.andreaguskin.com \nARTIST BIO: \nAndrea Guskin is a San Francisco Bay Area artist who was raised amongst the woods and college campuses of Wisconsin and Ohio. She began drawing by pillaging her father’s office supplies for fine tip pens and yellow pads\, filling them with costumed figures while lounging on a 1970’s shag carpet. \nAfter studying painting at Antioch college\, Andrea moved to NYC and became a part of the art and songwriter community on the Lower East Side\, joining a group of artists working without heat in an 1897 former school building (now known as The Clemente). It was here that the figures in her paintings began to deconstruct into minimal skeletal portraits in black and white\, which formed the bridge to her architectural tape drawings and her abstract explorations related to the home. \nSince moving to the Bay Area in 2003\, Andrea has expanded the materials and themes she works with–incorporating small ordinary objects and domestic mending materials such as thread\, burnt matches\, cotton rounds\, tape\, and rubber bands. She uses these objects to explore ideas related to domesticity\, refuge\, and ancestry. \nAndrea has recently added a participatory community aspect to her work\, merging her years in museum education (The Oakland Museum/The Contemporary Jewish Museum) and her art practice. One example is the ongoing From Where to Here Project\, a series of events in which participants are invited to reflect on their own and their families’ journeys to the Bay Area.  \nIn 2020\, Andrea founded Virtual Cultural Connections\, a Bay Area program designed to promote cultural awareness in schools and support local artists. She currently lives and works in San Leandro with her husband and two sons.  \n  \nWORKSHOP: SUNDAY\, FEBRUARY  7TH\n \nBetween the Palm Lines\, Layers of Home | Andrea Guskin \nRubbings\, Transfers\, Tape\, and String: Using Everyday Objects to Create Meaningful Artworks  \nWORKSHOP DESCRIPTION \nI often incorporate household fragments and objects in my work: using ubiquitous items such as used matches\, rubber bands\, and cotton rounds. In this workshop\, we will gather objects from home to create a texture and line board that can be used over and over\, transforming found everyday pieces into layered worlds on paper. This workshop is a chance to be playful and experiment with what’s around you–it’s meant for everyone and requires no previous art experience.  \nSince ancestry is an important part of my work\, I will show you how to use this process with a printed copy of a vintage family photograph and how to make a simple photo transfer using an inkjet printer and a piece of label paper.  Additionally\, I will demonstrate how I would integrate this drawing into the larger narrative of my work by finding a place for it in one of the wall installations currently unfolding in my studio.  \n Pencil rubbings have been used widely by artists to add additional layers of meaning and interest to drawings. Here is an example by Max Ernst\, who created many drawings using this technique\, also called frottage.  \nMax Ernst\, When Light Cartwheels 1925 \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nMATERIALS \nFor Rubbings (Frottage) \n\nScissors\nGlue stick\nCopy Paper: with or without printed image\nA piece of cardboard\, wood or heavy paper: this will be the base for the objects\nPencil: 2B will work but a softer pencil is ideal (4B or 6B)\nString (preferably thicker than standard thread\, yarn or cord will work well)\n\nHousehold objects:  I used playing cards (to cut into shapes)\, cotton rounds\, a key\, an earring\, a feather and a game board. Look for things with interesting shapes and cut-outs\, that are fairly flat.  \nOptional  \n\nColored Masking Tape\nBlack paper for the background\nA printed copy of a photograph of a family member or friend\nA picture of a palm\nColored pencils\nwoodless pencils\n\nFor photo transfers:  \n\nAn inkjet printer\nA sheet of printable label paper (I use Avery)\nPaper (any thickness)\n\nWORKSHOP INSTRUCTIONS \nStep one: Gathering \nThe Essentials: scissors\, glue\, lightweight paper\, string\, pencil\, and some kind of board for backing.   \nHousehold Objects: I found cards\, a feather\, an old Trouble game board\, a key\, a cotton round\, an earring\, and a wooden toy remnant. I printed out a photograph of my grandfather working in a chemistry lab and the palm of my nephew Ricardo who lives in Trinidad.  \n \nString drawing with Palm Lines: Who’s palm lines will you create? You can use your own or a picture of someone else’s palm.  \nCut at least three pieces of string\, one for each line of the main lines in the palm. I cut four for his palm\, as the line across the middle line was so strong.  \nArrange string on your board\, echoing as closely as possible the lines of the hand.  \nRun the string over the glue stick\, or add glue to the board–then adhere the string to the board (you will  need to wait for the glue to dry before rubbing) \nStep two: Arranging your household objects and shapes on the board \nGlue or tape objects onto your board. I taped everything but the string\, so I can move the objects around freely. One of the advantages of this technique is being able to repeat a shape/texture easily\, so choose shapes that fit in with any concepts or ideas you have for your project.   \n \nStep Three: Rubbing  \nStart with a Warm-up. Holding your paper firmly on top of the board\, rub back and forth using the side of your pencil until the lines and shapes appear. Shift the paper around to gather more rubbings.  \nAfter you complete your warm-up\, you will have an idea of which objects you prefer to use on your final piece. Here are some ways to add to your piece:  \nUse a printed copy of a photograph instead of a blank sheet of paper. It works best if it’s a light-colored photograph. Cut it out if desired and place it on black paper.  \nUse colored masking tape to make a design on paper before you start rubbing. Use the rubbings to fill in the negative spaces of the design. Find your favorite area of the page and cut it out.  \nPhoto Transfer Technique for Inkjet printer \nTake all the labels and sticky parts of a sheet of white address labels for inkjet printers  (Avery labels work well) \n \n\nPlace in your printer (in mine I have to place it upside down)\nPrint the photograph (it will print in reverse). Transfer immediately after printing\, while the ink is still very wet. Make sure to use a board or larger paper to protect the surface you are working on. \n\n– Lay a piece of paper (or wood)  down on top of the image. For this\, I only wanted to print a selection of the image.  \nPat the back firmly all around with your whole palm.   \nLift and see the image!  \nIt will most likely not be “perfect” but contain some spots that didn’t transfer completely. Personally\, I like this effect.   \nIf you like\, remove the ink by transferring the rest of the ink onto scrap paper and re-use the same sheet to transfer once again. It will dry in about an hour.  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nImages from Past Exhibitions:   \n\n\n\n	\n		\n			\n			\n		\n\n		\n		\n			\n			\n		\n\n		\n		\n			\n			\n		\n\n		\n		\n			\n			\n		\n\n		\n\n		\n	\n		[Show thumbnails]\n	\n\n\nTime: Feb 6th\, 7:00 pm -10:00 pm (Performances)\,  Feb 7th\, 3:00 PM – 4:00pm (Visual Art Workshop | Exhibition) \nAdmission: Free (donations are encouraged) \nTune in 10 minutes before each event starts to test your devices for connection. \nThe event will be streamed live through the Red Poppy Art House Facebook page

A poet\, dancer\, singer\, healer \n \nAdrian Arian is a poet\, visual artist\, performer\, art teacher\, and South American cultural activist based in the Bay Area for two decades. His poetry and visual art have won awards and local and international recognition. His work has been presented at the Young Museum\, San Marcos Museum\, Poetic Nights of Struga\, Macedonia\, Benamil Residence in Spain\, Venice Biennale\, Latin American Biennial of Lima\, etc. Creator of the multidisciplinary event Illusion Show\, and the Poem of the Day. \n          \nARTIST STATEMENT: \nAdrián believes that poetry is in constant motion\, and that feeds on each discipline to continue among us. Sometimes it is a photograph of a feather lying on the shore\, sometimes a book-object that seems to tell us the future\, sometimes the body moving slowly between blue lights to go dancing with paper and umbrellas\, without rain. \nThe absurd\, the light\, the sensual\, the shadow\, the dreams\, are often elements in the daily life of Adrian\, who in addition to declaring himself a Poet in motion\, is an art teacher and a cultural organizer of events.  \nWORKSHOP: \nAdrian’s Collage workshop is open to a personal exploration of what we are experiencing in times of pandemic and social change. We will explore forms of composition\, cut\, a combination of images\, colors\, and texture. We will use magazines\, solid-colored papers\, acrylic paints or those that we have at home\, sharpies\, glue\, scissors\, and a hard surface that can be the cardboard of a box or thick cardboard. \n	\n\n		Adrian-Collage-1\n\n		\n				\n						\n		\n\n		\n		\n\n			\n				\n					\n				\n			\n\n			\n				\n					\n				\n			\n\n			\n				Image				1				of				5			\n\n		\n\n		\n			  \n		\n\n			\n	\nKristi Williamson is an interdisciplinary teacher\, artist\, and healer who explores consciousness in the body.

Elizabeth’s vast range of study and breadth of international performances lead her to be aptly fit for presenting the folk dance traditions of Danistan with grace and accuracy.   She is\, in fact\, a royal ambassador to the nation of Danistan\, earning the accurate acronym of RAD\, which she embodies so well with her scintillating dancing.  \n  \nABOUT THE ARTIST: \nAccordionist/pianist/saw player Dan Cantrell is an Emmy winning composer known for his innovative and energetic approach to documentary film and television scoring.

Images of rugged men with their code of stoic endurance\, self-reliance\, loyalty\, courage\, and camaraderie\, on horseback riding across the plains\, wrangling cattle and spitting chew were everywhere – from the paintings of Charles M. Russell\, Frederick Remington\, and Will James to the landscape itself. However\, the reality is the painful and violent history of manifest destiny that annihilated much of the indigenous peoples and wildlife of the West. The 19th century doctrine gave American settlers the rationale of a ‘God-given destiny’ to expand westward across North America and beyond. Framed in the context of morality\, divinity\, freedom\, and the presumed greatness of a white America\, the ideology was used to justify the forced removal of Native Americans from their land\, the subsequent genocide of their people\, and later\, claims to Pacific islands. The mass migration also served industrialists who benefited from the labor force that established in the west to build the railroads\, work the land\, build the cities\, and mine the natural resources.  \nWilson’s latest body of work\, The Stains and Misdirections of Manifest Destiny explores and calls attention to the painful history of manifest destiny and its lasting racist\, imperialist influence on American social and political ideology today.  \nThe Stains series uses the traditional craft of quilling (paper filigree) to create intricate drawings that evoke 19th century quilt patterns set against a stained foundation. The handicrafts of quilling and quilting spread from England to the American colonies and then to the American West. Wilson began quilling as a child when her grandmother passed on the fashionable craft of her childhood to her granddaughter.  \nThe Misdirections series counters the glorification of the west using revisions of existing historical texts branded into leather hides and stretched over wood placards to create new narratives and new directions for moving forward from a past rooted in the arrogance of manifest destiny.  \nKemp-Greene-Wilson-Metzner is a series of suede works with narratives and ornamentation from Wilson’s ancestral history of pioneer families who migrated from Wisconsin\, Illinois\, and Iowa to Utah\, Idaho\, and Montana in the 19th century as a protestant\, Mormon\, and Jewish settlers\, homesteaders\, miners\, and railway workers. \nMegan Wilson’s quilling drawings at Red Poppy Art House are part of the Stains series. \n	\n\n		Stain3\n\n		\n				\n						\n		\n\n		\n		\n\n			\n				\n					\n				\n			\n\n			\n				\n					\n				\n			\n\n			\n				Image				1				of				3			\n\n		\n\n		\n			  \n		\n\n			\n	\n  \nRonnie Goodman was a self-taught homeless artist and former distance runner living in San Francisco.

Her work is about developing consensus on solutions to the homeless crisis centered on the experience and expertise of those who have survived or are still living without housing. Excellent meeting facilitation\, policy development\, messaging expertise\, and unsticking ambivalence and entrenched mindsets. Jennifer is always learning from the brilliance around me and knows how to stay positive. Adept at moving controversy to collective problem-solving. Working in collaboration with many others has led to literally thousands of people in SF stabilizing in housing\, rising out of poverty\, averting homelessness\, and addressing the many side effects of homelessness in order to flourish. However\, due to rising rents\, alongside immoral inaction on the part of policymakers\, her work has a long way to go. Urgent meaningful action is what she works for. \n  \nONLINE AUCTION\n \nArt Auction 20\, Transforming Art into Action will feature over 100 pieces of art\, taking place online starting October 1st and ending October 8th.  Many of the art pieces will be displayed in storefronts in the Mission District\, and supporters can do their own art walks at any time convenient to them.  This is a major annual fundraiser for the Coalition on Homelessness and is deeply connected with our use of art to communicate complex social problems\, whether that be through printing posters with unique art or the production of our twice-monthly street newspaper Street Sheet.  The newspaper serves as a creative outlet for unhoused community members through artwork\, poetry\, creative writing\, and journalism.  The newspaper is sold by impoverished vendors who keep 100% of the proceeds and ensures San Franciscans can hear directly from those who are so personally standing at the intersection of the housing crisis\, racism\, and the deep structural inequities that drive homelessness.   \nView the Art Auction 20 Art Walk Venue Map here \nAll artwork will be available for preview online \n  \n“Red Poppy’s Window Exhibition” October thru December \nThe “Window Exhibition at RPAH” will preview works by Jennifer Bloomer\, Megan Wilson & Ronni Goodman.

The duo’s global take on music is largely expressed through the distinct compositional voice of Faquini\, with occasional lyrics penned by Cressman. Their original material features songs in three different languages and encompasses a vast spectrum of musical ground. With the warm instrumentation of acoustic guitar and trombone and two-part vocal harmonies hugging the Brazilian-accented Portuguese\, Cressman & Faquini weave their musical voices together to create a fully orchestrated sound befitting a much larger ensemble. \nABOUT THE ARTISTS: \nNatalie Cressman has spent the past ten years touring the jam band circuit as a horn player and vocalist with Phish’s Trey Anastasio\, while also collaborating with many illustrious figures on the New York City jazz scene. When she’s not performing her own music\, Cressman can be found collaborating with some of the most illustrious figures in rock\, funk\, jazz and beyond\, which have included Phish\, Big Gigantic\, Carlos Santana\, Escort\, Wycliffe Gordon\, Nicholas Payton\, Anat Cohen\, The Motet\, and Umphrey’s McGee. \nBorn in Brasília and raised in Berkeley\, Ian Faquini was a member of the renowned Berkeley High School Jazz program before going on to study at the California Jazz Conservatory in Berkeley and\, immediately after graduating\, joined the faculty there. He has performed throughout Europe\, Japan\, Brazil and the United States and has shared the stage and recording studio with such names as Guinga\, Brad Mehldau\, Chris Potter\, Spok\, Lee Konitz\, Fleurine\, among many others. \n \nAya Safiya and Tano Brock\nTraditional music from Greece and the Eastern Mediterranean\nFeaturing: \nAya Safiya – vocals\, violin\, laouto  \nTano Brock – vocals\, clarinet\, laouto \nABOUT THE PROJECT: \nAya Safiya and Tano Brock have been musical collaborators for over a decade. They met at a music camp in their teenage years\, and began playing Greek and Balkan music together. In 2014\, along with Cecilia Peña-Govea and Miguel León\, they formed Taraf de Locos\, a SF Bay Area group that created a unique blend of Balkan and Afro-Latin music styles. Following an album release and tour with Taraf de Locos\, Aya and Tano traveled to Eastern Europe together to discover and study music. They have since been collaborating on a regular basis; continuing to play Greek and Balkan traditional styles\, as well as contemporary original music. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic\, Aya and Tano have been frequently performing live-stream concerts from their home studio\, both independently and as a part of larger concerts/festivals.  \nABOUT THE ARTISTS: \nWith strong messages and emotional vulnerability\, Bay Area raised artist Aya Safiya reveals her diverse and complex identity in her singing and songwriting. Her first EP “Aya Safiya\,” released in 2018\, was a transitional introduction to her electronic singer-songwriter career initiated after decades of working as a Greek/Mediterranean/Balkan-music singer and violinist. Aya was 15 when she first started performing and has since gone on to perform at Greek festivals in the US and in Greece\, as well as at venues such as The Great American Music Hall in SF\, the Grand Prospect Hall in NYC\, and the House of Blues in Boston. She has also taught classes in regional Greek violin and Greek/Balkan singing at community-based music schools such as The Freight and Salvage Coffeehouse in Berkeley\, the Sierra Music and Arts Institute in Central California\, and Apapachoa in Nicaragua. In July 2020 she released her 2nd EP\, “My Other Half.” While the new EP is a continuation of her singer-songwriter project\, through it she explores new grounds\, incorporating her Japanese-American roots and writing all lyrics in Japanese. Although Aya’s music “lives between the lines of genre and culture\,” (Jocelle Koh\, Asian Pop Weekly) and “defies standard categorization\,” (Mitch Mosk\, Atwood Magazine) her intimate\, nostalgia evoking songwriting\, ethereal singing\, and hazy production with help from producer Tano Brock\, distinctly conquers a vibe. \nTano Brock is a 24-year-old musician\, songwriter\, producer\, and engineer. Born and raised in San Francisco\, CA\, Tano began studying and performing music at a young age and had an almost supernatural knack for it ever since he began banging on a drum at only a few months old. Throughout his childhood\, Tano accompanied his family to various music camps in California where he was exposed to music from all over the world. At 6 years old\, he began studying darbuka\, a Middle Eastern drum. He then started studying piano at age 7\, and at 12 began teaching himself guitar. In his early teens\, he started playing saxophone/clarinet\, as well as exploring the world of digital recording and production. At age 18\, he released his self-produced debut solo album “Bandit” (2014) – which garnered significant success and launched his career as a composer for synch licensing. In 2019\, Tano graduated from Berklee College of Music with a degree focused on performance and music production & engineering. During his time at Berklee\, he explored his deep affinity with world music traditions\, traveling to Turkey to study with master musicians\, and to Cuba for recording sessions in Havana. He is currently producing and mixing for various artists of different styles such as: reggaetón artist La Doña\, Indie/J-Pop artist Aya Safiya\, pop artist Liv Young\, multi-percussionist/vocalist Miguelito Leon\, and Ecuadorian vocalist Gerson Eguiguren. \n  \nStrings of the Near East with Gari & Elana \nCompositions inspired by the traditional music of Greece and Turkey\nFeaturing: \nElana Brutman —Lyra with Sympathetic Strings \nGari Hagedus — Oud\, Saz & more…  \nABOUT THE PROJECT: \nGari and Elana will play original compositions inspired by the traditional music of Greece and Turkey and influenced by their own cultural understanding of music. Their repertoire is rooted in sentiment\, contemplation and a deep respect and love for distant parts of the world.   \nABOUT THE ARTISTS: \nGari Hegedus plays violin\, viola\, and a variety of lutes from Greece and Turkey\, including laouto\, oud\, and saz. Along with playing in Teslim\, he also performs with global music group Stellamara\, as well as Bay Area groups Janam and The Helladelics. Hegedus has studied with oud master Naseer Shamma and has studied\, recorded\, and performed with Ross Daly and Kelly Thoma. He has toured with the Mevlevi Dervish Order of America and continues to participate in Turkish ceremonial and devotional gatherings around the country. In addition to being a composer and performer\, Hegedus is a talented luthier\, repairing stringed instruments of every variety; coaxing sound from sazes\, violins\, and rebabs; restoring lutes and lyras; making bows; and finding ingenious ways to allow the true voice of an instrument to come forth. \nElana Brutman has dedicated the recent years of her life to the intensive study of the lyra with sympathetic strings\, an instrument whose design is based on the traditional Cretan lyra and incorporates elements of the Byzantine lyra and Indian sarangi. She has spent countless hours in deep study with her teacher\, Kelly Thoma\, in Crete\, and has spent many summers in Greece studying with master musicians from Greece\, Turkey and Iran. \n  \n \n  \nPower Rumba | Dos BandOLEros\nStruggle Makes Our Music Stronger \nFeaturing: \nAlberto Gutierrez – Guitar\, Vocals \nRaúl Vargas – Cajón\, percussion\, Vocals \nABOUT THE PROJECT: \nDos BandOLEros is a Spanish Rumba Duo founded by Raul Vargas (Makrú) and Muchacho Mandanga in the Bay Area.
