Libia Castro and Ólafur Ólafsson's International Practice Examines Migration and Society

Based in Berlin following their residency at Künstlerhaus Bethanien from 2008 to 2009, Libia Castro and Ólafur Ólafsson have showcased their work internationally since September 2008 in cities such as Madrid, London, and Milan. They have been nominated for the Dutch Prix de Rome and utilize various media to investigate themes of globalization and societal frameworks. Their ongoing film series, Avant-Garde Citizens (2007–), focuses on undocumented immigrants in the Netherlands. Their creative endeavors also include Uterus Flags (2008), which examines femininity in urban environments. Additionally, the documentary Caregivers, which premiered at Manifesta 7 in Trentino, Italy in 2008, highlights Eastern European women caregivers, featuring music by Karólína Eiríksdóttir. Another notable project is The Constitution of the Republic of Iceland (2008), which transforms Iceland's legal framework into a musical performance.
