Tania Bruguera

Artist Statement 2009
“In my work I present various modalities of delegation of authorship. Not only the responsibility of the work is negotiated with the audience in terms of its documentation or its completion, but where the audience is at times requested to create the work itself.”
Political Art Statement 2010
“Although it is very clear for political artists that we do not want to be interior decorators, we have to rethink how to establish our relationship with power. Some artists have felt the need of entering directly into politics. I believe that, in a given way, our position should be one of dissatisfaction because of only being able to be between both, the arts and the politics.”
Teaching Statement 2006
“Education is about the ethic of knowledge, is the creation of a thinking structure and the modeling of sensibility that will prevail on someone's life for a long time, my approach to it is to create a process where the student takes full control of it.”
Born 1968 in Havana, Cuba, she currently lives and works in Havana, New York and Cambridge. Her research focuses on ways in which art can be applied to the everyday political life. Tania recently opened the Hannah Arendt International Institute for Artivism, in Havana - a school, exhibition space and think tank for activist artists and Cubans.
