Tania Bruguera: Towards a Civic Art Practice

Join us for an evening with Cuban artist Tania Bruguera. Learn about the work she is currently developing in her Harvard studio and how these new commissions connect to—and extend—her expansive body of work. Tania Bruguera will be joined in a conversation at ArtLab by Carrie Lambert-Beatty and David Joselit, Harvard Professors in the Art, Film and Visual Studies Department.

The artist Tania Bruguera makes work that connects art to everyday political life, focusing on the transformation of social affect into political effectiveness. Her exhibitions, performances and long-term projects have been intensive interventions on the institutional structure of collective memory, education, and politics. Born and raised in Havana, she has long engaged with the Cuban Revolution’s promises and failures through performances, exhibitions, and complex participatory projects.
