Barbara C. Branco: (En)fado
17:00
(En)fado
I’m here because I’m an artist and musician.
What unites my practices is my constant complaining in the form of Fado.
Fado is a Portuguese traditional genre of music, where one whines about their fate, nostalgia, daily life, using certain stylistic music choices in terms of chord progressions and rhythmic patterns.
Complaining, but with style!
During the STAGES residency I tried to give a new form to my longing for the sea by giving life to a sea of paper and false limpets, and get them to sing and dance with me and my band Baralha.
You know, Whining, in style!"
*The performance will be followed by a guided tour in the exhibition Fin et début / Einde en begin at iMAL and drinks.
