Regina José Galindo lives and works in Guatemala. Her artistic practice centers on the use of her own body, often placing herself in situations of political and personal risk to confront systems of violence. Galindo gained international recognition when Harald Szeemann invited her to participate in the 49th Venice Biennale, where she presented El dolor en un pañuelo and performed Piel. She was awarded the Golden Lion for Best Artist Under 35 at the 51st Venice Biennale for her work Himenoplastía. Her work has been featured in major international exhibitions, including documenta 14 in Athens and Kassel, and the biennials of Istanbul, Prague, and Tirana. She has exhibited at institutions such as PAC Milan, Tate Modern in London, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and MoMA PS1 in New York. Galindo’s work is held in the collections of Reina Sofía Museum (Madrid), MoMA (New York), the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (New York), Centre Georges Pompidou (Paris), MALBA (Buenos Aires), Castello di Rivoli (Turin), and the Tate (UK), among others.
