Tina Barouti is a faculty member in the Art History, Theory and Criticism department at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She served as the 2022 Brooks International Fellow at Tate Modern’s curatorial department and was a resident at the Delfina Foundation. She earned her PhD in the History of Art and Architecture from Boston University, where her dissertation, “A Critical Moroccan Chronology: The National Institute of Fine Arts in Tetouan Since 1946,” received the Keith N. Morgan Dissertation Prize. In 2022, she received AMCA’s Rhonda A. Saad Prize for Best Paper in Modern and Contemporary Arab Art.
Her work has been supported by various grants, including a Fulbright U.S. Student Fellowship.
