Join Alicia "Truthseeker" Mitchell and Mike Labrossie for a reflective walk that begins with a sacred tobacco prayer and a history of the Watuppa Reservation. Alicia will discuss indigenous harmony with nature, while participants contemplate the impacts of colonization and the importance of unity in the 21st century. As you forage and reflect on connections between food, art, culture, and nature, the experience will culminate in meditation and sharing thoughts over Sassafras tea with local honey.

Watuppa Reservation Headquarters 2929 Blossom Road, Fall River; 508.324.2749

Parking is located at the Medium-sized gravel parking areas on Blossom Road south of the reservation headquarters. We recommend that guests bring water, wear sturdy footwear and adequate clothing

Honoring CANI’S mission to connect the Islands and their diaspora, Fabric curates a special program that showcases examples of dynamic happenings in the Azorean cultural ecosystem. Conceived as a dinner-performance, participants will be invited to "eat the landscape" of the island, immersed by the sounds of four of the most prominent musicians in the archipelago, who have come together as Cavalo Marinho for this one night. The menu will be crafted by food creative Catarina Ferreira and set designed by architect Nuno Pimenta. We will have beautiful Portuguese wine and cocktails served and created by BĀS.

This dinner will subvert traditional dining by inviting our guests to move around the food installation-gathering and foraging the ephemeral island as an act of communal experience. Local and imported goods from the Acores will accompany one another in a harmonious feast of traditional and contemporary dishes. We will have tables for those that need to sit and hightop rounds scattered about the room (think cocktail party!) If you have any allergies or sensitivities, please reach out to info@fabricfallriver.com so we can provide you with more detailed information of the menu as we move closer to the date. Please join us in an unforgettable night!

In the spirit of the great Portuguese festas, FABRIC brings you our own interpretation. The P.A.L. in Fall River will come alive for one night to celebrate the best way we know how: with community, music, food and tasty drinks! Join us as we welcome Portugal's Pedro Mafama. Born in Lisbon, Mafama has become a central figure in the contemporary Portuguese aesthetic of 'Novos Fados:' a genre of pop music that emphasizes Portuguese dance, marches and rumbas. To open the evening we will have Portugal's Reina del Mar play a dj set and the evening will close out with an after party from Providence's own, Where's Nasty!

Food trucks will be situated outside of P.A.L. where guests are welcome to enjoy food and bring it inside. BĀS cocktails will be taking over the bar with Portuguese and Cape Verdean inspired libations.

A note about tickets: In the interest of being as inclusive as possible, FABRIC is offering a pay-what-you-can tier model to create accessibility for all who wish to attend! We also have an additional option for DONATION to help the festival off-set costs for those who wish to give a little more. We can't wait to party with you all! Please do not hesitate to reach out to info@fabricfallriver.com with any questions or concerns <3

Join us as we welcome Odete to Providence's AS220, a fixture in the city's art scene since 1985. The show will start at 9pm in the Blackbox.
