Brendan Fernandes

Session six - July 30 – August 5

Brendan Fernandes, as a multidisciplinary artist, examines issues of cultural displacement, migration, labor, and queer subjectivity through installation, video, sculpture, and dance. He is invested in confronting the complexities of transitional and transnational identities, with a particular interest in incorporating elements of cultural performance into contemporary art, arising from his unique cultural background as a Queer, Kenyan-Indian Canadian.
