Gloria Oyarzabal has been nominated for the 2022-24 edition of the International photography prize, the Prix Elysée,  for her project La Blanche et la Noire (USUS FRUCTUS ABUSUS), a work that examines colonial property rights over bodies and cultural artifacts as a foundational element of the museum.

The Prix Elysée is a two-phase publishing award, in which two books are produced: the nominees’ book (first year) and the winner’s book (second year).

It is open to photographers or artists using photography, regardless of age or nationality, whose work has been the subject of first exhibitions and publications that have brought them national recognition, or even international visibility. However, they have not yet benefited from a mid-career retrospective.
