For Yto Barrada’s Hand-Me-Downs at Pérez Art Museum Miami, we developed a design approach that echoes the fragmented intimacy of the work itself—found footage, unreliable narration, and inherited memory. Subtle typographic choices and restrained spatial interventions mirror the film’s interplay between nostalgia and fiction, reflecting stories that slip between generations, cultures, and historical thresholds. The exhibition design frames Barrada’s layered narrative with quiet precision, allowing the visual and emotional dissonance of the piece to unfold.
