Tania Bruguera

Tania Bruguera was born in Havana, Cuba in 1968. She is primarily working in performance art, installation and video. Reflecting on the ‘experience of the other’ she uses performance art as a method of social inquiry, exploring different aspects and countenances of Cuban life, culture and traditions. In 1998 she was selected as a Guggenheim fellow. In 2000 she received the Prince Claus Award. Her work has been shown in major exhibitions in the United States, around Europe and in Cuba.
