Originally presented at the American Academy in Rome and expanded for the Neuberger Museum of Art, Yto Barrada: The Dye Garden features recent work by Barrada, whose artistic practice weaves together family history and broader sociopolitical narratives, employing a variety of media, including photography, film, video, installation, sculpture, books, and hand-dyed textiles. The artist has long investigated gestures of resistance to structures of power and control. She has an abiding interest in mechanisms of displacement and dislocation, as well as questions of appropriation and authenticity.

Yto Barrada: The Dye Garden is co-organized by the Neuberger Museum of Art and the American Academy in Rome. Co-curated by Chief Curator Helaine Posner and Peter Benson Miller, Curator and former Andrew Heiskell Arts Director at the American Academy. A fully-illustrated, multi-essay catalogue will accompany the exhibition. Generous support for the Roy R. Neuberger Prize has been provided by Jim Neuberger and Helen Stambler Neuberger.
