"On Rape – And Institutional Failure" uses an assemblage of found and original photographs, reports, quotations, videos, and artifacts to explore the structures that make rape possible. Working across temporal periods, cultural practices, and media, Abril reveals the normalization of misogynist attitudes and behaviors in society and politics but does not resort to explicit depictions of sexualized violence.
A 2018 case of rape in Spain occasioned Abril's investigation. Occurring at the height of the #MeToo movement, the incident set off country-wide protests. Five men brutally raped a young woman and were later released on bail. When they were ultimately charged, it was not for rape, but merely for sexual harassment, which carries a lighter sentence. Against the backdrop of protests against a flawed system hostile to women, Abril explores why institutional failures on this scale occur, and how traditional assumptions, cultural influences, myths, and laws serve to shield perpetrators by reinforcing power dynamics and dependent relationships. 
On Rape – And Institutional Failure is the second chapter in the artist's long-term project A History of Misogyny, in which she responds to manifold forms of systemic violence against women. Abril succeeds in allowing a deep empathy for victims of sexualized violence while inviting viewers to consider the complex relationship between experience, image, and language, as well as the limits of depicting trauma. The artist uses a moving political narrative to counter the feeling of silencing often experienced around the subject while simultaneously appealing to society’s sense of responsibility.
Abril's research-based practice makes her one of the most important next-generation artists working with archives, written testimonies, and original photographs today. She uses multilayered narratives to make visible complex and suppressed taboo themes today. C/O Berlin presents the artist's first institutional solo exhibition in Germany in Collaboration with Les Filles du Calvaire, Paris.

The museums on the Berlin Museum Island have their own characteristics. The old art museum houses a large number of German 18th-century painters. The old museum is mainly an Egyptian cultural relics exhibition. The treasure of the town hall is a bust of Niftiti. The bust is the mother of ancient Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun, the most beautiful queen and first queen of ancient Egypt. Nefertiti means &quot;a beauty is coming&quot; in ancient Egyptian. &zwnj; The new museum in Berlin has a large number of ancient Roman, Greek, Cyprus and other cultural relics. The Paramount Panorama exhibition brings a very good visual experience. What&#39;s better is that in addition to the art museum, the other three museums have Chinese guided tours.
