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.

Echoes is a collaborative publication that follows Reverberations, the MA Research Architecture exhibition of 2025. It is an assemblage of poems, images, readings, reflections, experiences, and contradictions. A collective space to express our solidarity; to enjoy our concomitance. To be creative, reflective, and playful; a contemplation of the year spent together, remembering the before and on our way into the after. This publication is the form given to the thoughts and reflections that didn’t fit in our academic texts—quiet fragments which come together, louder.

Laura was the production manager and layout designer for the publication.
