Abortion is prohibited in the Dominican Republic. Yet women find ways to access it. Doble Moral gives a voice to those who take control of their bodies.
In a country where abortion is illegal, women must find ways to navigate the restrictions and state control. Karla Hiraldo Voleau met some of these women and handed them the shutter release of her camera. By creating, together, a setting in which they could make their own portraits, the photographer gives them the opportunity to take ownership of their image, just as they should be able to do with their bodies.
In Doble Moral, intimate testimonies and (self-)portraits intertwine with stories that are both deeply personal and universal: those of women who act in secret, revealing another reality of contemporary Dominican Republic.
Karla Hiraldo Voleau, born 1992, is a French-Dominican artist. She graduated from ECAL University of Arts and Design (Switzerland) in 2018, with her project Hola Mi Amol – it was published in 2019 as her first photo book and was a laureate of the VFG Swiss Young Talents for Photography, as well as shortlisted at Paris Photo for the Aperture First Book Awards 2019. Hiraldo Voleau was a Foam Talent in 2020, and a laureate of the Olympus Recommended Fellowship 2020.
Most recently, she exhibited her performative project ‘A Man in Public Space’, at Art Basel 2022 where she was a Swiss Design Award finalist, but also at the Biennale de l’Image Possible of Liège 2020, at Photo London 2021, among other venues.

She is currently a resident of the Cité Internationale des Arts of Paris.
