Maria Llopis


Maria Llopis (Valencia 1975) is a writer, artist, activist, and feminist. She develops her alternative vision of sexual and gender identity always starting from a strong political position, in which she deconstructs the sexual subject to elaborate a discourse around pro-sex feminism or transfeminism. Her work deals with maternity and sexuality, orgasm and violence, gender performativity, sexual violence, virtual sex, subversive maternity, and orgasmic births. Above all, the work of Maria Llopis situates sexuality/intimacy as a powerful force of creation and as a necessary political weapon to question the society in which we live.

Her work has been part of numerous exhibitions and art festivals such as the Encuentro Internacional Feminista in Madrid (2023), the exhibition Maternar at the MUAC Museo Universitario de Arte Contemporáneo in Mexico (2022), Feminismes! Coreografies del génere at the Centro de Cultura Contemporánea de Barcelona CCCB (2019-20), The Art of Reproduction in St Polten, Austria (2019), Genealogías feministas en el arte español: 1960-2010 at the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Castilla y León MUSAC (2013) or the Festival Panorama in Rio de Janeiro (2011). From 2004 to 2007 she was an active member of the multidisciplinary art collective Girlswholikeporno.

Llopis' work is part of the Valencian Artistic Heritage (Consorci de Museus de la Generalitat Valenciana). She has published the books El postporno era eso (Melusina 2010), Maternidades Subversivas (Txalaparta 2015) and La revolución de los cuidados (Txalaparta 2021).
