Job title:
Artist, Activist
Bio/CV:
Tania Bruguera was a Visiting Artist Panel Participant at the Spiraling Time Symposium at the Arts Research Center on March 15, 2013.
Tania Bruguera was born in 1968 in Havana, Cuba. Bruguera, a politically motivated performance artist, explores the relationship between art, activism, and social change in works that examine the social effects of political and economic power. By creating proposals and aesthetic models for others to use and adapt, she defines herself as an initiator rather than an author, and often collaborates with multiple institutions as well as many individuals so that the full realization of her artwork occurs when others adopt and perpetuate it.
