Description
Laia Abril's On Rape is a powerful visual exploration of the systemic failures that perpetuate rape culture. By collating and interweaving compiled testimonies, historical archives, and societal structures, Abril sheds light on the transgenerational trauma and social accountability that underpin these issues. This work is part of Abril's long-term project 'A History of Misogyny', a visual research that compares the systemic control of women across history and contemporary times. Laia Abril is a research-based artist who focuses on projects that uncover uneasy and hidden realities about women's rights, grief, and bio-politics. Abril has published several award-winning books, including The Epilogue, Lobismuller, and On Abortion, which have been exhibited in over 15 countries and are held in collections such as the Centre Pompidou.
