Laia AbrilOn Rape and Institutional Failure

International Center of Photography

Oct 15, 2026 – Jan 11, 2027 Lower East Side

Opening soon

Photographs, testimonies, archival material, objects and sound and video installations on rape and the institutions that failed its victims.

The show centers on the second chapter of Abril’s ongoing project A History of Misogyny. It traces how gender stereotypes and widespread prejudice have fed a rape culture that persists today, looking at institutions rather than blaming victims.

First shown in 2020, in the wake of the early allegations against Harvey Weinstein, it was curated at ICP by Sara Ickow.
