Parade
Tranzac Club
292 Brunswick Avenue, Toronto
Stefan Hegerat is one of my favourite jazz drummers in the city. Parade is his new project, which is inspired by his work organizing in the climate and racial justice movements. His music is equal parts grief and joy, presented against a groovy, lush, synth pop backdrop.
Early in the year, he approached me to collaborate and I took it as an opportunity to explore a video component to my Public Displays of Affection series on makeshift memorials, which is still in progress. For his trio's Tranzac performance, I created a video projection using my source photos and plan to re-edit for distribution.
