Yto Barrada
Artistas
Yto Barrada (París, Francia, 1971) es una artista reconocida por sus investigaciones sobre fenómenos culturales y narrativas históricas, inspirada por su infancia en Tánger, Marruecos. Utilizando fotografía, cine, escultura, grabado e instalación, reinterpreta relaciones sociales y cuestiona la predominancia de la ficción en narrativas históricas e institucionales. Su trabajo ha sido exhibido en importantes instituciones alrededor del mundo, como el Tate Modern en Londres, el MoMA en Nueva York y la Bienal de Venecia, además de haber sido premiada en el Deutsche Bank Artist of the Year en 2011.
Barrada, historiadora de formación, busca traducir la complejidad de las relaciones históricas y sociales en su arte, abordando frecuentemente cuestiones políticas de forma oblicua y humorística. Sus trabajos presentan juegos de palabras, textos satíricos y personajes ficticios y reales que exploran temas como el colonialismo, la resistencia y el neoliberalismo.
El juego y la política están entrelazados en su obra, donde utiliza el humor y la irreverencia para abordar cuestiones serias. Personajes históricos como Hubert Lyautey son frecuentemente subvertidos en sus creaciones, donde Barrada juega con sus citas e imágenes icónicas.
Explorando el juego como una propuesta creativa en su obra, Barrada combina seriedad e irreverencia para crear trabajos que desafían y provocan al espectador. Esta aproximación singular destaca su habilidad para estimular reflexiones profundas a través de una estética envolvente y multifacética.

Manchester gallery trip
On the 17th of October 2016 we visited the Manchester City Gallery and the Whitworth Gallery, also located in Manchester. I found my two favourite pieces in the Whitworth Gallery; Les Dormeurs (2006) by Yto Barrada and a fashion piece by Karin Human. Les Dormeurs (also known as the The Sleepers) is a series of photographs of people asleep, mainly in fields. This piece of work is very different to other work by Barrada, who is a French, multimedia visual artist. She often works with bright, contrasting colours and often uses geometric shapes. However, this piece is monochromatic which gives it an extremely eerie feel. When I first looked at the photos, I thought the people in them were actually dead.The second piece that really stood out for me was Salford fashion student Karin Human’s The Pattern of Protection (2016). Human took her inspiration for this piece from a group of Suffragettes who trained in martial arts. They did this in order to protect their leader, Emmeline Pankhurst, during marches and protests. The dress reinvents the traditional colours of green and purple that were used by the Suffragette’s. Furthermore, the silhouette reflects both East Asian styles and the dress reform styles associated with the women’s movement in the late 19th Century. I was drawn to the piece originally because of it’s unique silhouette, but when I read about it and discovered it’s backstory, I was even more enthralled - I would consider myself to be a feminist and I have an interest in the women’s liberation movement, which made Human’s piece all the more fascinating to me.
