Laura (b.1999, she/her) is an architectural researcher and cultural practitioner based in London. Spanning essay, poetry, performance and video, her work explores the technologies weaponised by state, corporate and colonial actors to discipline, survey, securitise and pollute space, bodies, objects and stories. Interested by the disorientating effects of computation, automation and gamification on contemporary visual cultures, Laura utilises her practice as a rehearsal space for technical misuse. In doing so, she joins a growing alliance of activists, artists, coders, hackers, and technologists similarly intent on unleashing technology’s subversive and counterforensic potential. 

Laura holds a BA International Relations degree (First Class) from the University of St Andrews and a MA Research Architecture degree (Distinction) from Goldsmiths' Centre for Research Architecture.

She is the Publishing and Project Coordinator at the design studio OK-RM and its publishing imprint InOtherWords

Reverberations is a group exhibition showcasing the work of the MA Research Architecture 2025 cohort. The exhibition gathers projects that act as sensors for different conditions: from slow violence to sudden rupture, ancestral memory to digital surveillance, collapse to refusal. Together, they form a constellation that reverberates across time and space, forging fragile yet urgent connections between struggles and realities. Throughout the week, Reverberations unfolded through workshops, screenings, and radio activations, proposing multiple ways of navigating these worlds. Reverberations insists that things can be otherwise.
