About the Series The film series Voicing Intergenerational Trauma in Postwar Korea and Japan through Contemporary Cinema explores how trauma is experienced intergenerationally in the family within the context of East Asia. Research demonstrates that trauma has lasting effects that reverberate beyond the victims who directly experience it (Cai and Lee 2022; Cho 2006). Families are the primary site where trauma is experienced and transferred across generations. This series sheds light on how these dynamics play out through a gendered lens within the context of East Asia, which has been profoundly shaped by ethnocentric violence during the Japanese imperial period and World War II, as well as social and economic upheaval following the outbreak of civil wars and the spread of Cold War politics in the 20th century. The series is sponsored by the Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies, DeBartolo Performing Arts Center, and Hesburgh Libraries with support from the Franco Family Institute for Liberal Arts and the Public Good, College of Arts & Letters.

New at the BrowningDirected by Alan GilsenanNot Rated, 75 minutes, DCPAndrew Fitzsimons scheduled to appear live!The Journey of Weather-Exposed Bones is a non-narrative, experimental film-poem inspired by a new and complete translation of Basho, the seminal Japanese poet and father of the Haiku. The film is a collaboration between acclaimed film-artist Alan Gilsenan and Irish poet, translator and Japanese scholar Professor Andrew Fitzsimons of Tokyo's Gakushuin University. It is—in equal parts—a cinematic act of psycho-geography, a meditation on the devastating impact of climate change and a quasi "road-movie" through contemporary Japan following the remarkable journeys of Basho in the decade leading up to his death in 1694.

An immersive poetic and musical passage, Sonorous Present extends sonic meditations on loss, migration, and memory across America's borderlands, as physical place and liminal space.What began as an experimental and improvised performance in 2019—inspired by the music and poetics of Alex E. Chávez's award-winning book Sounds of Crossing—was subsequently reimagined as a studio album in collaboration with Grammy Award-winning producer Quetzal Flores, and featuring luminaries from the worlds of traditional Mexican son and jazz—including, Aloe Blacc (2015 Grammy Award nominee), Martha Gonzalez (2022 MacArthur Fellow), Ramón Gutiérrez (of Son de Madera), Roger Reeves (Guggenheim Fellow, National Book Award finalist, and Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award and Griffin Poetry Prize recipient), and Lucía Gutiérrez Rebolloso (winner of the 2022 Sarah Vaughn International Jazz Vocal Competition).This performance of the studio album integrates an epic spectrum of Regional Mexican and Latin American folk elements with jazz, poetry, dance, field recordings, and ethnographic songwriting that crosses the sunburst surreal of America's musical and cultural borderlands.Musicians/PerformersAlex E.

The museum is excited to welcome back Brendan Fernandes for an encore presentation of his site-specific piece, Moving Through. Originally performed this past spring, this commissioned work will be reprised throughout the galleries. Fernandes’s piece dissolves the boundaries among visual art, dancers, and audience members. The performance will take place in the museum atrium and throughout the galleries; visitors can expect to see dancers in the galleries as they respond to a dynamic movement score composed collaboratively by students. Rather than stage a stationary performance, dancers will move through the museum, allowing visitors to watch the fluid performance and come and go as they wish. The work unfolds as a meditative act, inviting an extended, slow process of looking, sensing, and interpreting. Audience members may stumble upon a dancer by chance or follow their movement as they respond to an artwork—transforming observation into an immersive experience. By integrating movement, stillness, and sonic interplay, Fernandes reimagines the museum as a living, breathing space where art and dance converge, challenging how we see, experience, and interpret both art forms. The performance will invite audiences into an active, meditative process of seeing, experiencing, and engaging with art in new and transformative ways. Brendan Fernandes is the 2025 artist-in-residence in the Notre Dame Initiative on Race and Resilience. The site-specific commissioned piece Moving Through is made possible through collaboration among, and support from the Initiative on Race and Resilience, the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center, and the Raclin Murphy Museum of Art. Brendan Fernandes (b. 1979, Nairobi, Kenya) is an internationally recognized Canadian artist working at the intersection of dance and visual arts. Rooted in collaboration and fostering solidarity, Fernandes’s projects take hybrid forms to address issues of race, queer culture, migration, protest, and other forms of collective movement. He is a graduate of the Whitney Independent Study Program (2007) and a recipient of a Robert Rauschenberg Fellowship (2014). In 2010, he was shortlisted for the Sobey Art Award and received a prestigious 2017 Canada Council New Chapters grant. Fernandes is also the recipient of the Platform Award (2024), the Artadia Award (2019), a Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship (2020), and a Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation grant (2019). His projects have been shown at the 2019 Whitney Biennial (New York); the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (New York); the Museum of Modern Art (New York); the Getty Museum (Los Angeles); the National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa); MAC (Montreal), among a great many others. He is an Associate Professor in the Department of Art Theory and Practice at Northwestern University. Fernandes is represented by Monique Meloche Gallery in Chicago and Susan Inglett Gallery in New York. Recent and upcoming projects include performances and solo presentations at the Pulitzer Arts Foundation (St. Louis), MCA Denver, The Fabric Workshop (Philadelphia), and Prospect 6 (New Orleans).
