Tania Bruguera is a political and interdisciplinary artist whose works focus on the relationship between art, politics and life. In her pieces, art is conceived as an experience to be walked through and as a space for the realization of utopian projects. Bruguera is particularly interested in the insertion of art into everyday political life.

Bruguera is no longer interested in merely representing political situations but in creating them by putting into motion some of the same strategies used by political powers. Her work, often of an ephemeral nature because of the use of live actions and/or fragile materials, reflects the similarly ephemeral condition of any political truth.

She currently lives and works between Chicago and Havana. She is the founder/director of Arte de Conducta (behavior art), the first performance studies program in Latin America, hosted by Instituto Superior de Arte in Havana and is faculty at the University IUAV in Venice, Italy and The University of Chicago, United States.

Since 2002 (with the creation of Catedra Arte de Conducta, an alternative art school project in Havana), she has embarked on a series of projects in which she works towards appropriating the structures and resources of power rather than just the language.
