About
Exhibition Overview
Iron + Palm Wine is a solo exhibition from artist and musician YATTA which uses video, sound, digital collage, and a series of original interviews to reimagine the pastoral as a site of reckoning, rather than escape. The show is framed by the music of renowned Sierra Leonean guitarist S. E. Rogie, a pioneer of palm wine music and YATTA's great uncle.
Key Dates
- On view from November 15, 2025 through February 1, 2026 in the Newmark Gallery
About YATTA
YATTA is a Sierra Leonean-American artist and composer whose work spans experimental music, performance, installation, sculpture and sound art. Their music blends textural electronic elements, looped vocals, and rich storytelling, rooted in improvisation, humor, and surprise. A recent MFA graduate from Bard College and a former artist-in-residence at Pioneer Works and Flux Factory, they continue to explore sound as a medium for storytelling, identity, and transformation.

- Theme
- The exhibition explores West African guitar music, particularly palm wine music, as a lens to examine notions of nature, leisure, and wandering, positioning Black wandering and West African musical traditions as reckonings with colonial pastoral mythology and the historical trauma of the transatlantic slave trade.
