Hahnemühle paper

Elimina Strategy: Ghana invited Gloria Oyarzabal to immerse herself in the past of slavery and understand how our well being was built at the expense of horror and terror. The seeds of the instability of that continent and the welfare of the West were sown in the Atlantic Treaty. Women, as always, in the centre. In those years the African coasts boiled in their splendour in the slave trade. In Elmina, Portuguese and Dutch built up a terrifying business that would eventually be called the Atlantic Treaty, creating a triangle of human trafficking between Africa, Europe and America, being the basis of economic progress in most of the colonizing countries. Since 1.482. First gold, then man and women enslaved. Always trading. For more than 400 years.

Gloria Oyarzabal questions the complex processes of colonisation, decolonisation and African feminism, arriving at the conclusion that gender discourses cannot be universalised. A Graduate in Fine Arts, her diverse work expands across film, photography and teaching.

In 2017 she was selected for the artist residency El Ranchito, South Africa & Nigeria (Matadero) which took place between Madrid and The Arthouse Foundation in Lagos. In 2020 she was also invited to be a resident artist at Gibellina Photoroad (Sicily, Italy).

Since 1996 Gloria has worked as artistic director and head of photography for experimental short films and documentaries. She holds a Master’s in Creation & Development of Photographic Projects from the Blankpaper School of Photography (Madrid, 2014-2015), a Diploma in Conservation & Restoration of Art (1993) and a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts from Complutense University of Madrid (1998). She was also a professor at IADE where she taught Analysis of Architectural Forms (2001-2010).
