Alvaro Barrington’s most recent series explores the centrality of music as a constant source of inspiration in his practice. Growing up during the 1990s in Brooklyn, New York, he was heavily influenced by the late American rapper Tupac Shakur (1971–1996), whose often autobiographical lyrics describe a world marked by hardship, but also perseverance and celebration. These ideas resonated with Barrington’s own experiences and are reflected in his works.
