Soft/Cover explores the inventive ways artists use fabric and screenprinting to create objects that engage with the body. Join us for a conversation between acclaimed performance artists Brendan Fernandes (Chicago) and Sharon Hayes (Philadelphia) as they discuss their practices in relation to the exhibition’s themes.

This talk takes place on the occasion of Fernandes’s residency at FWM and anticipates a public performance this summer, when he will debut new costumes made in collaboration with the FWM Studio and activate work from the collection.

Organized in conjunction with the exhibition, Soft/Cover.
