FABRIC 2020 arts festival seeks to inspire a narrative that celebrates and reflects the urban and social fabric of Fall River, its industrial heritage in textile mills, and its deeply rooted cultural bond with Portugal.

Organized by Casa dos Açores de Nova Inglaterra under the leadership of Michael Benevides in Fall River, and with the curatorship of international art impresarios Jesse James, Sofia Carolina Botelho and António Pedro Lopes, all elements of the festival will aim to enlighten and inspire while respecting the need for physical distancing.

Three large, site-specific art installations will be on view bringing attention to the 1.4-mile Quequechan River Rail Trail.

Design studio and collective WSDIA (WeShouldDoItAll) from Brooklyn, NY, will be doing an architectural installation on the Trail, reimagining what can be future places of gathering.

Interdisciplinary artist Tracey Cockrell will present sound installations on the Trail with students from UMASS-Dartmouth.

In addition, New Bedford, MA based multimedia artist Tracy Silva Barbosa will create a waterfall projection to illuminate onto Fall River City Hall, viewable from afar as well as from I-195, to pay tribute to Fall River’s namesake where the Quequechan River flows through the city and drops steeply into the bay.

The Tracy Barbosa projection will be available October 16 from dusk to dawn, and the WSDIA and Tracey Cockrell installations will be on view beginning October 17 at 10am.
