Cover of a popular edition of Abderrahman al-Majdoub’s poems

Abderrahman al-Majdoub was an oral poet from the sixteenth century, a landless peasant, a wanderer who made an impact on generations of people via quatrains that are full of irreverent wit and unexpected humor. Some of these, like proverbs, are still alive in Maghrebi collective memory. In 1976-77, Ahmed Bouanani translated about a hundred of them into French. The manuscript is still unpublished. Using a selection of Majdoub’s quatrains as a starting point, Yto Barrada resumes the personal reflections she has been weaving on the invention of traditions, on authenticity and forgery. Working with the remains of old fabrics, she designed a series of flags, each of which borrows its motif and motto from a poem by Majdoub. Yto Barrada borrows from the feminist tradition that consists in turning domestic tasks into subversive tools. Playfully practicing the modest activity of mending, she literally removes fabric from Moroccan bourgeois interiors in order to make these collaged flags that one would rather picture on a pirate’s raft than on a military ship. “Legendary poets shed their borders,” wrote Bouanani about Majdoub…

Abderrahmane al-Majdoub était un poète oral du 16e siècle, un paysan sans terre, un vagabond errant sur les routes qui a marqué les générations avec ses quatrains pleins de verve irrévérencieuse et d’humour inattendu. Certains restent vivants, tels des dictons, dans la mémoire collective du Maghreb. En 1976-77 Ahmed Bouanani a réalisé une traduction française, demeurée inédite, d’une centaine de ces poèmes. Avec une sélection de quatrains de Majdoub comme point d’ancrage, Yto Barrada retisse les fils d’une réflexion personnelle sur l’invention des traditions, sur l’authenticité et la contrefaçon. En accommodant des restes de tissus anciens, elle conçoit une série de drapeaux dont chacun emprunte ses motifs et sa devise à un poème de Majdoub. Yto Barrada fait sienne la tradition féministe consistant à retourner les tâches domestiques en armes de subversion. Par un usage ludique de la modeste activité qu’est le raccommodage, elle décolle littéralement des tissus de salons marocains bourgeois pour fabriquer des drapeaux-collages que l’on imagine plus volontiers sur un radeau de pirate que sur un navire militaire. « Tout poète légendaire perd ses frontières », écrivait Bouanani à propos de Majdoub…

Yto Barrada’s projects develop across different media, including photography, film, sculpture, prints, and installations. A Life Full of Holes – The Strait Project looks at Tangier’s peculiar position as an impossible gateway to Europe. Iris Tingitana explores the paradoxes of modernization by focusing on the relation between urban development and the botanical landscape, and highlighting human and plant life’s subtle resistance against the forces of monoculture. A newer body of work explores paleontology, museology, and natural history in Morocco, by looking at the commerce of fossils between the Atlas Mountains and the Sahara desert: here, the acts of collecting and of forging appear to be at the core of science, ethnography, and art. Appliqué Majdoub Flag is a series of textile works produced especially for the Marrakech Biennale, in the context of “Memory Games: Ahmed Bouanani Now”. Taking inspiration from poems by the 16th century North African troubadour Majdoub, Barrada pursues her humorous exploration of authenticity and forgery and the invention of tradition by creating collaged flags using fabrics taken from bourgeois Moroccan interiors.

Le s projets d’Yto Barrada emploient différents médias – photographie, vidéo, sculpture, éditions, installations.  A life Full of Holes – The Strait Project  examine la position particulière de Tanger comme porte d’entrée impossible vers l’Europe.  Iris Tingitana  explore les paradoxes de la modernisation via la relation entre le développement urbain et le paysage botanique, et souligne la résistance subtile des hommes et des plantes contre les forces de la monoculture. Un nouvel ensemble d’œuvres s’intéresse à la paléontologie, la muséologie et l’histoires naturelle au Maroc, par l’observation du commerce de fossiles dans la zone située entre l’Atlas et le Sahara: ici la collecte et la contrefaçon apparaissent au cœur de la science, de l’ethnographie et de l’art. Appliqué Majdoub Flag  est une série d›oeuvres en textile produites spécialement pour la Biennale de Marrakech, dans le contexte du projet Jeux de mémoires  : Ahmed Bouanani aujourd’hui. Prenant pour point de départ les poèmes de Majdoub, un troubadour nord-africain du 16e siècle, Barrada poursuit sa réflexion personnelle sur l’authenticité, la contrefaçon et l’invention des traditions en créant des drapeaux à partir de tissus provenant d’intérieurs bourgeois marocains.
