Bio:

Regina José Galindo was born in 1974 in Guatemala City, where she lives and works. Her artistic career began in the field of poetry and drawing. In 1999 she performed her first performance: I'm going to shout it to the wind. Her work denounces political and social conflicts that occurred in Guatemala, but could well be identified with a global problem of current societies.

José Galindo has been the only Latin American artist awarded a Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale, she received it in 2005 for best young artist. Since 1998 she has received awards and recognitions, the first for her work as a poet: Unique Poetry Award from the Myrna Mack Foundation in Guatemala. She has also received international awards throughout this decade of artistic career, such as the residency granted by the Parisian gallery Le Plateau in 2005 or the award from the Inquieta Imagen contest held at the MADC in Costa Rica in 2007.
