Moses Sumney

Abertura dos portões: 19:00

Moses Sumney evades definition as an act of duty: technicolor self-directed videos and monochrome clothes; Art Rock and Black Classical; blowing into Fashion Weeks from a small town in North Carolina; seemingly infinite collaborators, but one staggering voice.

Akin to his upbringing between Southern California and Ghana, his work migrates
seamlessly through genre and disciplines. His albums have topped the critics’
lists of the New York Times, NPR, Pitchfork, the Guardian, and Rolling Stone; his
music videos lauded by SXSW, the UKMVAs, the Webby and Camerimage awards.

When quarantine prohibited the touring of his 2nd album græ,
Sumney took to the hills, directing the sprawling 2021 live album
and film Blackalachia atop the Blue Ridge mountains. Here we see
Sumney’s mastery of spectacle: shimmering vestments, angular choreography,
songs performed acrobatically mid-air. That same year, he starred in his first
major campaign for Calvin Klein; the next, Burberry.

Soon enough, the cinematic flare of his videos lead him to act in two A24
productions, the second of which is his film debut, premiering this summer. It
is preceded by his first new musical offering since 2020 — a leveled-up, soulful
EP of sensual songs that capture Sumney’s coy flirtation with the
spotlight.

Consistent across the worlds of music, fashion, and film is his assertion that the
undefinable still exists and dwelling in it is an act of resistance.
