Fabric Arts Festival is back for its 3rd edition between May 12 and 14 under the title Where we meet, a challenge to new encounters and future spaces.

 

An invitation and an opportunity to look at Fall River as a territory of arrivals and intersections between multiple geographies, this edition finds inspiration in the diasporic aesthetics, languages and codes that shape the city of Fall River, to propose a program featuring public art, music, commensality, and encounter.
  
    Fabric presents artists working in music, performance, and visual arts. It seeks to promote collaboration between local cultural agents and Festival artists and aims to show, map, and build from the narratives of the city, its spaces, and traditions, to celebrate their communities and diversity.

 

    The program is organized around three days and navigates between three programming areas: Common Spaces, an exploration of visual arts and architecture; Dialogues, an experience of music and sounds; and A Table for many, centered on commensality and encounter.

 

We will look at Fabric as a “festa” (party in Portuguese), a place that welcomes multiple bodies, minds and ideas, intersecting everything we are, all the places we've been, our desires and hopes.
