In this episode, Annick van Rinsum speaks with award-winning, multidisciplinary, and research-based artist Laia Abril. They talk about her methodology as a research-based artist, and how, for her, research is about curiosity and connecting dots. Laia's work often touches on the workings of biopolitics and sheds a light on intimate and painful stories. Currently, Laia is working on a trilogy: 'a History of Misogyny', in which she uncovers the long history of institutional misogyny. Through her work she becomes a different kind of expert. And, in turn, her work shows her audiences the hidden facets of oppression. Do want to know more? Then join The Willem Poelstra Lecture 2022 by Laia Abril on Wednesday december 20th at 8 p.m. at Pakhuis de Zwijger.
