About
Why this artist matters now
Regina José Galindo is a Guatemalan performance and video artist who uses her body as material to interrogate violence, state power, and bodily vulnerability. Her physically confrontational interventions in public and institutional spaces stage scenes of suffering and transgression that implicate viewers as witnesses. Galindo's work directly engages Guatemala's history of political repression and genocide, transforming endurance into a form of accusation and testimony.
