SUMMARY:Performance: Brendan Fernandes: Noise See
DESCRIPTION:Noise See is a performance work by Canadian visual artist and c
 horeographer Brendan Fernandes performed as a duet.\n\nThere is no designat
 ed seating for this performance. Visitors are welcome to drop in and seatin
 g can be provided upon request. There will be 2 performances and a 15min in
 termission.\n\nNoise See is a performance work by Canadian visual artist an
 d choreographer Brendan Fernandes. Originally commissioned by The Fabric Wo
 rkshop and Museum\, Philadelphia\, the work explores themes of visibility\,
  protest\, the legacy of empire\, and embodied resistance. Central to the p
 erformance are vibrant quilted tapestry costumes that evoke textiles common
 ly associated with contemporary Maasai culture in Kenya yet rooted in Briti
 sh colonial influence.\n\nPresented alongside the exhibition Other Moves\, 
 Noise See is performed as a duet: two dancers engage in a choreographic dia
 logue—merging and separating\, concealing and revealing—through their b
 odily interaction with one another and their own biomorphic form as they in
 habit their costume.\n\nThese dynamic textiles become agents of action\, sh
 aping and being shaped by the dancers’ movements. Noise See reclaims a co
 lonial textile legacy and transforms it into a site of protest\, protection
 \, and presence. Here\, Fernandes insists that silence is not absence but a
  resonant and radical form of resistance.\n\nBrendan Fernandes (b. 1979\, N
 airobi\, Kenya) is an internationally recognized Canadian artist working at
  the intersection of dance and visual arts. Currently based in Chicago\, hi
 s practice addresses issues of race\, queer culture\, migration\, protest\,
  and other forms of collective movement. Constantly seeking to create new s
 paces and forms of agency\, Fernandes’ work often takes on hybrid forms: 
 part ballet\, part queer dance party\, part political protest always rooted
  in collaboration and fostering solidarity.\n\nImage: Brendan Fernandes\, N
