She focuses on how variations have an impact on stable patterns and structures in certain cultural products, testing language's resistance as a code or sound as a social icon. Her work focuses on artistic/musical production, education and research, with projects that take the form of concerts, installations, performances and publications. 

Laura Llaneli is back to participate in IN RESiDENCE, after having participated in the 9th edition (2017-2018), at the Quatre Cantons School (Poblenou, Barcelona), with a group of 3rd and 4th year secondary school students and with the mediation of A Bao A Qu.
