<br/><br/> In this project, artist Yto Barrada weaves a multimedia refraction of her mother Mounira Bouzid's 1996 ifrst visit to the US, as part of a group of African students participating in the Operation Crossroads Africa program, a precursor to the Peace Corps founded in 1958 by Harlem-based , black American clergyman James Herman Robinson. Rather than accept the capitalism-and-democracy narrative proposed by her hosts, the young Moroccan socialist saw through to the revolutionary potential of the Pan-African, Tricontinental Black Power, and anti-Vietnam War movements. BArrada chronicles multiple layers of this history- overlapping, subjective, and unreliable- using archival materials, film, textile painting, and educational toys.
