LAIA ABRIL
A history of Misogyny, Chapter Two : On Rape

Opening Saturday, January 25, 2020 from 3 to 8 p.m. with the artist.
Exhibition from January 25 to February 22, 2020.

The first chapter of her work on the history of misogyny On Abortion has been presented worldwide after the Rencontres d’Arles festival in 2016. Laia Abril presents at the gallery her second chapter: On Rape.

Of her new work, Abril writes, "by scrutinizing, conceptualizing and visualizing diverse miscarriages of justice across historical regulations, toxic dynamics and victims’ testimonies, the project aims to call out the institutional rape culture prevalent in societies around de world. I’m looking at rape by exploring how concepts of myths, power, and law, relate to the constructions of the notion of masculinity and sexual violence."
