SUMMARY:MAPP: Our Built City: A Ritualistic Deconstruction of Our “Sculptural Housing” ft. SHORE: Story (A Curated Reading by Emily Johnson)
DESCRIPTION:As part of the programming for the August 1st MAPP\, the Red Poppy Art House and EDELO ‘Where the United Nations Used to Be’ invite the public for the closing ceremony of Our Built City\, the miniature city thriving on our corner of 23rd & Folsom. \nOver the past five months\, Caleb Duarte and Mia Eve Rollow of EDELO have been in residence as Artistic Directors in Rotation at the Poppy. For their final curated MAPP\, EDELO and collaborators occupy the center of the Art House to dig out the hidden histories buried beneath. Our Built City  becomes mobile and begins to occupy spaces in the Mission with the transformation of two shopping carts into a miniature city on the move. Displayed on the Poppy’s interior gallery walls are works created on materials found throughout the district. \nThe evening features both large-scale and miniature paintings created by Our Built City participants\, ranging from artists and immigrants to families and homeless neighbors. Emily Johnson/Catalyst also makes her return to the Bay Area with the premiere of SHORE\, the final work in a trilogy that began with Bessie Award-winning The Thank-You Bar. A multi-part\, multi-city project\, SHORE explores the complex connotations of the place we call home\, taking on questions of memory\, ancestry\, nature and community. In a curated reading (SHORE: Story)\, writers will present work that speaks to our inherent connection to and disconnection from home\, place\, land\, and each other. \nAugust 1st MAPP Schedule: \n2:00pm – 5:00pm: Family Art\nMobilizing Our Built City with painted wooden panels and decorated shopping carts. \n6:00pm – 7:30pm: Visual Art Exhibition\nDisplay of Our Built City paintings on found wood created by artists\, neighbors\, children\, immigrants\, and the homeless. Featuring a painting by Citlalli Aguilar\, a high school summer intern supported by Spotlight on the Arts (California Lawyers for the Arts). \n6:00pm – 7:30pm: Bringing Out the Dirt\nAn ongoing performance featuring recent immigrants crawling out of the wooden floor as they move dirt from one place to another. \n6:00pm – 10:00pm: Our Built City in the Mission\nAn ongoing performance carrying Our Built City throughout the Mission. \n7:30pm – 7:50pm: Persian Trio Group\nPersian folklore with classical\, jazz\, and flamenco influences. Performance by Emad Bonakdar (guitar)\, Dina Zarif (vocals)\, and Mohammad Hassanzadeh (Kamancheh\, Persian stringed instrument). \n8:00pm – 9:20pm: SHORE: Story\nA curated reading by Emily Johnson featuring writers Em Reit\, Daphne Gottlieb\, Tria Wakpa Blu\, and Wilfredo Pascual. \n9:30pm – 10:00pm: Ampersan\nMexican folk & contemporary classical instrumentation. \n\nMore About SHORE \n \nSHORE is a multi-day performance installation that celebrates the places where people meet and merge – land and water\, performer and audience\, art and community\, past\, present\, and future. Over the course of a week\, SHORE invites the audience to four equal parts: community action in partnership with community organizations\, story (a curated reading)\, a performance that begins outdoors and moves into ODC Theater\, and a festive potluck feast. Curated by Emily Johnson. \n*Register/RSVP for the four parts of SHORE here: http://goo.gl/forms/YfjsMzNxyf \n\nAbout Emily Johnson/Catalyst \nEmily Johnson is an artist who makes body-based work. Originally from Alaska\, she is currently based in Minneapolis. Since 1998 Johnson has been creating richly layered works that blur distinctions between performance and daily life. Her dances function as installations\, engaging audiences within and through a space and environment — interacting with a place’s architecture\, history and its role in community. Johnson is a recipient of a 2014 Doris Duke Artist Award. Her work is currently supported by Creative Capital\, Native Arts and Cultures Foundation\, MAP Fund\, a Joyce Award\, the McKnight Foundation and the Doris Duke Residency to Build Demand for the Arts. Johnson is a current Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study at the University of Minnesota\, a 2014 Fellow at the Robert Rauschenberg Residency\, a 2012 Headlands Center for the Arts  and MacDowell Artist in Residence\, a Native Arts and Cultures Fellow for 2011\, a MANCC Choreographer Fellow (2009\, 2010\, 2012\, 2014\, 2016)\, a MAP Fund grant recipient (2009\, 2010\, 2012\, and 2013) and a 2009 McKnight Fellow. She received a 2012 New York Dance and Performance “Bessie” Award for Outstanding Performance for her work The ThankYou Bar at New York Live Arts. \n\nAbout Ampersan \n \nAmpersan integrates sounds of different ages\, nationalities and poetries. Since their inception in 2007\, Ampersan has been rooted in the traditional\, acoustic-based music of Mexico while expanding their reach through forays into contemporary classical music and sound experimentation. Mixing prehispanic instruments such as clay ocarinas\, colonial instruments like jaranas and violins\, and African instruments such as the darbuka with the distortion of an electric guitar and synthesizers\, Ampersan gathers together the feelings of peasant songs\, son\, psychedelic rock\, and electronica. \n\nAdmission: Free. \nTime: 2pm-10pm. All ages welcome. \nJoin the conversation at the Poppy – volunteer with us! Click here.

The music speaks of hope as a guiding force\, the drive towards dignity\, and the search for the elusive feeling of belonging in a hostile nation. \nFeaturing:\nAmy LaCour – vocals\nAmaranth – string quartet \n“The Oakland resident’s remarkable new EP\, Yes!\, offers LaCour’s gorgeously evocative vocals\, eloquent lyrics and beautiful\, intricate melodies\, enhanced by Misha Khalikulov’s incredibly inventive cello lines… The blend holds a special magic.” – Paul Freeman\, Palo Alto Daily News \n“If Joni Mitchell is waking up to the sound of a fresh drizzling rain\, then LaCour is stepping through the door the moment the sun peeks out. It’s the raw cool of folk warmed with resting embers of soul.” – John Flynn\, Metro Silicon Valley \nFollow Amy on Facebook.\nGet a sneak peak at her music on Bandcamp and YouTube. \n\nAdmission: $10-15.

SUMMARY:Alejandro y Maria Laura + Diana Gameros: Alejandro y Maria Laura's Farewell Concert
DESCRIPTION:Alejandro y Maria Laura is a Peruvian duo consisting of singer-songwriters Alejandro Rivas and María Laura Bustamanate. Together with guest Diana Gameros\, they round off their North American tour with a special farewell concert at the Red Poppy Art House. \nAlejandro y Maria Laura started making music together in 2009\, collaborating on each other’s original songs and doing cover versions of songs from various genres. Back in Lima at the end of 2010\, the duo collaborated on the exhibition En Pausa\, the final thesis project for María Laura’s performing arts degree\, where they experimented with composing songs in reaction to various stimuli. This process yielded such original songs as Abre los ojos\, Quiero estar sola\, and Estos días. At the beginning of 2011\, Mabela Martinez\, the host of local TV and radio program Sonidos del Mundo\, put the duo in touch with Matías Cella\, producer of notable South American artists such as Jorge Drexler and Kevin Johansen. Matías produced the duo’s first record\, Paracaídas\, which was released in October 2011. \nIn 2013\, they released the music video for Puedo estar sin ti\, a song which later received regular radio airplay in Peru. They also started work on their second album\, Fiesta para los muertos\, featuring collaborations with Susana Baca\, Kevin Johansen and Javier Barría. The duo celebrated the release of the record with a concert at the Mario Vargas Llosa Theater in Peru’s National Library. In 2014\, they were invited to Brazil by Paulinho Moska\, a well-known Brazilian singer\, songwriter and actor\, and wrote a song for the HBO Latino program\, Encuentros en Brasil. Later that year\, they were invited to perform at a number of festivals including Indies del Sur (Argentina)\, Festival Yavería (Colombia)\, FICIB (Colombia)\, and the 33rd Encuentro del Canto Popular (San Francisco\, CA). \nDiana Gameros is a Latin singer-songwriter who performs songs of love\, longing\, and hope. Originally from Ciudad Juarez\, Mexico and now living in San Francisco\, Gameros creates authentic\, inspiring music that reflects the 21st century experiences of a young indie artist at the borderlands between cultures\, languages\, and genres. Whether teasing every ounce of expression from her acoustic guitar in an intimate cafe or bringing people to their feet in a club with her dynamic full band\, Gameros transfixes listeners with her soaring vocals\, impressive playing and captivating stage presence. \nFollow Alejandro y Maria Laura and Diana Gameros on Facebook.\nCatch a sneak peak of their collaboration here. \n\nAdmission: $10. Doors at 6:30pm. Show at 7:00pm. All ages welcome. \nTickets will not be sold in advance for this event.
