MAPPing the Mission
Discussions of the dichotomous nature of the Mission approach tedium, with shootings in front of valet stands, or the whole "delicate flower" thingcreating enough dramatic tension to launch a thousand newspaper columns.
The organizers of the Mission Arts Performance Project (MAPP) aren't content to just wring their hands: they're doing what they can to boost the Mission's thriving arts community while acknowledging its more challenging sides with their bi-monthly, multidisciplinary, intercultural event night.
Connecting visual artists, musicians, poets, dancers and poets, MAPP weaves together storefronts, warehouses, studios and homes to form an art walk that seems to turn into a huge multi-block party. Homeowners lay down stages in their living rooms, scraggly artists gussy up and serve hors d'oeuvres. Appeal contributor Cassidy Friedman was at the last MAPP, on Saturday, April 4 (next MAPP is Saturday, June 6), where he did this video report. -- Eve Batey
