Following a residency at Accra’s Limbo Museum, Alvaro Barrington presents Western Beef ft. Western Union, a site specific installation at the museum. In this exhibition, Barrington reflects on his upbringing in New York and a practice rooted in Caribbean culture, opening a conversation about boundaries, passages, and the systems through which cultural and material life is inflected. Alvaro responds to the museum’s raw, permanently incomplete state to realize his institutional commission, which comprises paintings, sculptures, and site-specific installations developed with local materials, fabricators, artisans, structures, and modes of production. The exhibition allows the city itself to become an active participant in his process. This exhibition marks the artist's first show on the African continent and the first part of Western Beef, which will be continued on the Highline in New York City in December 2026.
