‘For Real For Real’ featuring Garrett Bradley at daadgalerie, Berlin, Germany

26 April 2025

From 16 May – 27 July, 2025 daadgalerie presents ‘For Real For Real’ featuring Garrett Bradley. The exhibition gathers together artists working to bring us closer to the particularities, obsessions, peculiarities, playfulness, obscurity, wonderment of a single one doing life, being alive, loving, seeing, making, breaking, collapsing, doing and doing in the wild wilderness of now. 'For Real For Real' is presented by The Racial Imaginary Institute (TRII), an interdisciplinary cultural laboratory founded by the poet Claudia Rankine, in collaboration with the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program and in conversation with Kevin Quashie’s book 'Black Aliveness: A Poetics of Being'. The exhibition is accompanied by an extensive program of readings, talks, and screenings.

Garrett Bradley (b.1986, New York) is an American artist and filmmaker based in New Orleans, Louisiana. Bradley’s multimedia work draws together broad themes of oppression and conflict with a particular emphasis on place and location. Across a body of moving-image productions that blend elements of documentary and fiction, cinema and video art, Bradley’s camera situates wider themes in the minute textures of the everyday, exploring her subjects’ struggles and dreams and rooting the sociopolitical in personal and physical experience.
