Laila White, Video
Spain-based multidisciplinary artist Laila White is characterised by her versatility as a dancer, photographer, choreographer and visual artist. Raised in the Tinodunf refugee camps in Algeria and based in Spain since childhood, her life has been characterised by a unique duality: two mothers, two crutches and a twin sister. Since her teenage years, Laila has found refuge in movement, where dance becomes her sanctuary, offering her a fleeting freedom and intensity that she can only find in this small space. In addition to her dance skills, Laila explores creative and artistic expression through photography and video composition. These mediums serve as tools for her to give voice to her experiences and enrich the narrative of movement in her work.
