Lulacruza inhabits the Red Poppy  
The Red Poppy Art House - San Francisco, California
September 2006 - February 2007

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 in 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.
