Event 2:
The Poppy at Dance Mission
The Red Poppy Art House presents Stories of Revolt, a trans-Bay, interdisciplinary exploration in narratives of belonging and displacement, culturally generative creative practices, and restorative justice. In collaboration with Dance Mission’s annual festival, D.I.R.T. – Dance in Revolt(ing) Times, the Red Poppy will feature original works from music, dance, film and storytelling artists that investigate how image, body and language become tools for transformation in a sacred space.
This project is made possible by support from Zellerbach Family Foundation, San Francisco Grants for the Arts / Hotel Tax Fund, and our community partners, AAAPAC, Delina Dreams Productions, and Ernesto Sopprani (THEOFFCENTER, AIRSpace Queer Performance Incubator).
