LaBabuch is a project created in 2019 by Israel Ariño and Clara Gassull Quer. Soon after, they were joined in the project by Chiara Capodici, who helps organise and host the workshops, and Laura Covarsí, who provides support for the creative residencies programme. In the LaBabuch workshops and residencies they have found a shared space to support people in their creative search or development, giving them a place and the quality time they need to work on their projects.

Clara Gassull Quer works in visual creation and artistic mediation and education. She uses photography, with or without a camera, and is particularly interested in light as the root of all images. She also expresses herself through drawing, sculpture, installations, video and other experimental techniques. In addition to her artistic endeavours, she works on educational and mediation projects with art spaces, museums, schools and cultural centres. 

Israel Ariño is a photographer and publisher. He is interested in photography’s ability, as a language, to question and reinvent reality. One of the most characteristic traits of his projects is how they work with the surroundings and the poetic experience of everyday life. He regularly takes part in creative residencies and exhibitions. In addition to his artistic endeavours, he publishes photobooks with his own and other artists’ work. He shares his experience through teaching and training on photographic language.

Chiara Capodici works in the field of photography, focusing on producing, curating and sharing photobooks. She founded Leporello, a bookshop and cultural space focused on books, which also hosts exhibitions and cultural activities. Her experience includes hosting workshops and exhibitions, particularly related to publishing. Occasionally, she also does editorial design for photobooks, and since 2023 Leporello has also become as a publishing house.She works at the crossroads of publishing, teaching and curating, promoting a critical view of photobooks.

Laura Covarsí combines photography and the preservation of photographic heritage. Her work explores the expressive possibilities of photography and strategies to preserve and share it. She has worked on preservation projects for public and private collections. In addition to research, she works as a teacher in programmes specialising in photographic heritage and at photo schools, where she teaches classes on photographic language.
