Our Built City: Transforming the Red Poppy Art House into "Sculptural Housing" – Presented by EDELO Nomad in Collaboration with the Community
Saturday, June 6, 2015 | 1:00pm - 10:00pm | free admission
The Red Poppy Art House collaborates with Edelo Residencia for the inauguration of Our Built City: Transforming the Red Poppy Art House into "Sculptural Housing". As part of the programming for the June 6th MAPP, the Art House will transform into a five-hour sculptural performance throughout the evening to address the culminating tensions between race, class, ownership, authenticity, and cultural expression as seen unfold on our corner of 23rd & Folsom.
The Red Poppy Art House invites the community to assist in the creation of an exterior miniature city installation that simultaneously serves as a "functional" shelter. The cityscape will be built out of recycled materials throughout a series of workshops, which will take place during the weeks leading up to the MAPP. Workshop hours are Wednesday through Saturday, from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm at the Poppy. For more information on the workshop schedule, email info@redpoppyarthouse.org or call 650-731-5383. All events are free and anyone is welcome to participate.
Full schedule of MAPP programming TBA. Check back here for details!

ABOUT THE MAPP PROGRAM:
Launched in 2003, the Mission Arts & Performance Project (MAPP) is a homegrown bi-monthly, multidisciplinary, unruly intercultural happening that takes place in the Mission District of San Francisco. The MAPP has produced over 65 neighborhood-level arts festivals since its inception.
MAPP is not an “art walk.” Instead, it’s a collage of 10-20 odd spaces transformed into micro art centers, focused on intimate artistic and cultural exchange among people. It was founded with some of the same organizational principles as the Red Poppy Art House (which still enthusiastically participates in MAPP as a neighborhood hub) as they both rely on the energy of the surrounding community, and operate with the help of many volunteers. Placing art and performance on the street level, MAPP utilizes such alternative spaces as private garages, gardens, living rooms, studios, street corners, and small businesses. At its heart, the MAPP shows how ordinary spaces can be made extra-ordinary through creative techniques.
