Brendan Fernandes

Brendan Fernandes, born in Nairobi, Kenya 1979. Currently based in Chicago, his practice addresses issues of race, queer culture, migration, protest, andother forms of collective movement. Constantly seeking to create new spaces 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.

Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles; theNational Gallery of Canada,Ottawa; and the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, MAC;among many others.
