Tania Bruguera (born 1968 in Havana, Cuba[1]) is a Cuban artist and activist who focuses on installation and performance art. She lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts where she works as head of media and performance at Harvard University.[2] Bruguera has participated in numerous international exhibitions.[3] her work is in the permanent collections of many institutions, including the Museum of Modern Art and Bronx Museum of the Arts and the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes de La Habana.[3]

Bruguera's work pivots around issues of power and control, and several of her works interrogate and re-present events in Cuban history.[4][5] As a result of her artistic actions and activism, Bruguera has been arrested and jailed several times.
