In her works she addresses social, cultural and political issues.\nBad Color Combos features works that negotiate man's relationship to nature, processes of learning and knowledge transmission, the questioning of cultural and artistic traditions, the examination of private and political history, and the meaning of color and form. Central to Barrada's work is resistance - against traditions, against power structures and role models. Learning and play are for her basic prerequisites to be able to work independently.\nThinking and critical questioning of the present.\n\nThe exhibition is sponsored by the Kunststiftung NRW and the Kulturstiftung pro Bielefeld.\n\n\"\"\n\n\"\""},{"acf_fc_layout":"bild_single","bild":1841},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_sans_gross","text":"Born in Paris and raised in Tangier, on the border between Africa and Europe, cultural dialogue is at the heart of many of Barrada's works.

She always feels out of place. She is middle class and the children are all richer than her. She is a socialist, the others are future prime ministers.
