Tania Bruguera

b. 1968, Havana, Cuba · Cuban

  • School of the Art Institute of Chicago

Tania Bruguera has developed a politically confrontational practice around censorship, migration, state power and civic participation. She describes parts of her work through concepts such as Arte Útil and political timing, treating art as a tool that can enter real social systems rather than merely represent them.
