The agro-industrial region of Almería (Andalusia, Spain) is known locally as ‘The Sea of Plastic’ due to the vast network of greenhouses that dominate the landscape. It is an area dedicated to the production of out-of-season vegetables, often exported to northern European countries, including the United Kingdom. Bandia Ribeira’s work focuses on the often-invisible communities of workers who find themselves caught in a system where lax labour law and environmental regulations fuel cycles of exploitation and segregation.
Bandia Ribeira is a key emerging figure within Spanish photography, best known for her long-term, research-led approach.
