"Barrada weaves perception, documentary evidence, personal memory and historical fact into a fabric of remembrance. Using contemporary media such as photography, film and reportage, her process resembles that of the weaver or seamstress: stitching, crossing, cutting, overlapping and repairing fragments into an assemblage of the past. More to the point: she has a passion for mending but also revealing breaks in the fabric of the past, for drawing attention to the work that goes in to filling in the gaps, as well as those gaps’ stubborn persistence."
