FABRIC FESTA! with Pedro Mafama, Where’s Nasty & Reina Del Mar

October 11 @ 7:30 pm 11:30 pm

Fabric Arts Festival is a celebration of art, music, community, and the city of Fall River, Massachusetts. It aims to be a platform for artistic creation through a multidisciplinary program that seeks to create a cultural and communal experience. 

Portuguese festas (festivals) are vibrant celebrations that bring together communities around shared rituals and traditions involving food, music, and all sorts of devotions. They are simultaneously communal, cultural, religious, and profane. There are “Festas” all over the world, each reflecting the unique culture, traditions, and heritage of their respective regions.

Fabric is hosting its own festa, expanding to multiple communities, and transforming the P.A.L. into a collective kitchen and food court with a dance floor in its center. Pedro Mafama would steer the party with his pimba (pop) hits, which reinterpret Portuguese aesthetics while, at the same time, paying attention to and acknowledging African and Islamic influences. Portuguese artist Reina Del Mar will open the dancefloor and the party will continue with Cape Verdean-American creative director & DJ from Providence, Where’s Nasty.
