Laia Abril's exhibition draws on the second chapter of her ongoing project A History of Misogyny. Combining photographs, collected testimonies, archival material, objects, and sound and video installations, it looks at how prejudice and institutional neglect have shielded perpetrators and silenced survivors. Rather than blaming victims, it asks where social accountability lies, and what has changed since the #MeToo moment. Curated by Sara Ickow; the exhibition opens October 15.
