Yto Barrada: My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nougat
QR 160.00
Yto Barrada is a contemporary Moroccan-French artist working across various mediums, including photography, film, sculpture, prints, textile and installation.
Barrada’s work is defined by exploration, exchange and self-education. Engaging with archival practices and public interventions, her installations uncover lesser known histories and reveal the presence of fiction in institutionalised narratives.
This beautifully designed book, published to accompany the exhibition at Mathaf in 2020, presents the first survey of Barrada’s work, created over the last two decades. Major artworks include Tree Identification for Beginners, Danse Macabre and the Bonbon series, with essays by Laura Barlow, Ruba Katrib, and Mason Leaver-Yap.
