Brendan Fernandes (b. 1979, Nairobi, Kenya) is an internationally recognized Canadian artist working at the intersection of dance and visual arts. Currently based out of Chicago, Brendan’s projects address issues of race, queer culture, migration, protest and other forms of collective movement. Brendan's Genesis NFT drop "Souvenir" acknowledges the artist’s own hybrid identity as a Kenyan, Indian, Canadian and American. This work aims to create a collective acknowledgement of change as displacement, but in shared histories of marginalized identity, we can recontextualize this displacement and reclaim it as empowerment.
