FUGEE

FUGEE is a multimedia installation lined with holographic material that houses curated live music, live sculpture, movement-based performances and hyperreal immersive video projection-mapped in 360°. This Nuit Blanche, come bear witness to the performance lineup curated by award-winning multimedia artist, Maziar Ghaderi, who was also once just a child seeking shelter from authoritarian rule. From the shooting down of Flight 752, ISIL's brutality in Syria and Iraq, the fall of Kabul to the Taliban and Putin's invasion of Ukraine, displaced populations seeking refuge have reached a tipping point. Ghaderi came to Canada as a refugee during the Iran-Iraq war at the tender age of 5 which is why the plight of refugees is central to this project. Nuit Blanche will be a night (and a morning) in modest observation of the families around the world that don't have the privileges that remain invisible to many Canadians today. FUGEE is also a celebration of the Freedom of Expression and Right to Dissent that Canada holds dear and the artistic accomplishments and cultural contributions that refugees and newcomer Canadians have made to our urban life.
