Laia Abril’s On Rape exhibition continues its roaming at the Fotografiemuseum in Amsterdam from November 6 to January 10. In March 2020, Laia Abril won the fourteenth Foam Paul Huf Award for her long-term project A History of Misogyny.
Laia Abril’s exhibition On Rape is the second chapter of her project A History of Misogyny. It expands her ongoing visual archive of the systemic control of women’s bodies across time and cultures.
“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.”
