A multidisciplinary artist, Laia Abril’s work is based on research to explore themes related to gender – such as abortion, menstruation and rape – through the use of photography, text, video and sound. She observes her surroundings and poetically translates the stories she encounters into images in order to give visibility to complex realities, in an exercise that is both artistic and activist. Her work has garnered recognition internationally, such as the Hood Medal (2019) and Honorary Fellowship (2022) from the Royal Photography Society in London, and recently the Premio Nacional de Fotografía from the Spanish Ministry of Culture (2023).
