Closing Night Extravaganza, featuring La Malamaña Urban Circus, OUT-SIDE-IN video installation by Adrian Arias

Join YBCA for an exciting evening of dancing and celebration, featuring performances by Bay Area artists including La Malamaña and Adrian Arias. La Malamaña, a group of eight artists from seven Latin American and Carribean countries, will conclude the evening’s activities with a stilt walking and fire-dancing extravaganza.

As part of their BAN 5 residency, the Red Poppy Art House (RPAH) explores the power that small spaces hold as vibrant centers where artists gather, create and make their home. Conceived as an on-site neighborhood experiment in cultural innovation, the RPAH acts as a meeting ground for artists of all disciplines, while engaging the complex social and economic issues of the arts landscape. In YBCA’s Room for Big Ideas (RBI), the Art House presents a month-long program of artists spanning disciplines and musical traditions of Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas, joining the traditional to the contemporary, and exploring the ways in which design and arrangement of physical space invariably come to represent, if not impose, our values in material form.

This Public Program is supported by a generous grant from The Wallace Foundation.
