la metro

La Metro (Catalonia, 1996) is an artist, researcher and queer femme activist. They position themselves as a pro-sex, pro-rights and anti-racist activist from an embodied objectivity (Haraway, 1991) to create corporeal-visual devices interweaving feminist kuir/queer f(r)ictions through archival art, performance, audiovisual, fanzine, digital art, installation and artistic mediation. In addition, they claim art - and the street - as a space to meet others and heal trauma collectively.

Graduated in Fine Arts, with a Master's degree in Cultural Studies with Cuirs Perspectives, they were awarded the IMIO scholarship of the Instituto de la Mujer (2023) that will finance their studies. They are currently developing their doctoral thesis in Artistic Creation to propose an archive on the activisms of Sex Work Feminism in the city of Barcelona with the aim of recognising the memory of the protagonists, honouring their resilience and combating all stigmas.
