Over the past two decades Yto Barrada has made a vital contribution to cultural life in the city of Tangier in Moroco, across north Africa and the Middle East. She talks with James Lingwood and Michael Morris about the vision for her most recent project The Mothership, an ‘eco-campus’ in Tangier developed with Artangel over recent years; a place for growing and making where artists and artisans, botanists and ecologists, amateurs and experts explore the rich and varied world of natural dyes. They discuss her work as an archivist and activist, and the reasons behind her decision to withdraw her work from the Barbican Centre’s recent exhibition Unravel - The Art and Politics of Textiles.

HERE IS WHERE WE MEET is a sequence of conversations conducted by James Lingwood and Michael Morris, co-directors of Artangel from 1991 until 2023.

The theme music for the series is written and performed by PJ Harvey.
