::Lulacruza:: inhabits the Red Poppy Lulacruza comes to the Art House a year and a half after releasing our debut album Do Pretty!. After traveling through Argentina, Colombia and Mexico, we are now living on the East bay; and our presence at the Red Poppy symbolizes the growing of roots in our new home. By inhabiting the Art House for 6 months we are hoping to weave all of our relations, continuing the process of creating bridges between seemingly different worlds and strenghtening community ties. We are bringing fellow travelers, noise & electronic musicians, folk singers, sound healers, visual artists, educators and community builders to foster the dream of listening to each other and co-creating with and through all of our relations. Thus, our residency wants to explore how we can rightly relate to the world. What it means to be human, right here, right now. And hopes to deepen and nurture all of our relations, not only the relations to people around us, but the relation to ourselves and to every single other being on the planet. By placing special intent on the act of listening and becoming more present, we are wishing to remember our true place as co-creators on the world. Lulacruza is working towards their second album, and so, the Red Poppy will also serve as a greenhouse for its ripening. The different concerts, collaborations, screenings, talks, workshops, open laboratories and the on-going installation will all nurture the album's creative growth. |
