Regina José Galindo's performances show the bitterness of individual experiences in oppressive political regimes and in social contexts of flagrant injustice: a reflection over limit situation of the human condition, over major ruptures and traumas, that are deeply hurting the private and the intimate, unveiling the anti-humanist side of politics and the anti-humanist side of society.
Urgent Issues presents a selection of works created between 2000 and 2009 and will be followed by a catalogue issued by Prometeogallery
