[[Tania Bruguera]] is a Cuban artist specialized in performance art and political art. Her work mainly consists of her interpretation of political and social topics.<ref name="hemispheric">{{cite web|url=http://hemisphericinstitute.org/hemi/es/enc09-performances/item/52-09-tania-bruguera|title=Tania Bruguera|access-date=May 27, 2020|author=Hemispheric Institute|date=2009|archive-date=October 5, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161005124055/http://hemisphericinstitute.org/hemi/es/enc09-performances/item/52-09-tania-bruguera|url-status=dead}}</ref>
She has developed concepts such as "conduct art" to define her artistic practices with a focus on the limits of language and the body confronted to the reaction and behavior of the spectators. She also came up with "useful art", that it ought to transform certain political and legal aspects of society. Brugera's work revolves around power and control topics, and a great portion of her work questions the current state of her home country, Cuba. In 2002 she created the Cátedra Arte de Conducta in La Habana.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.taniabruguera.com/cms/608-0-GLOSSARY.htm|title=Glosario|access-date=May 27, 2020|author=Tania Bruguera}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|last=Pinto|first=Roberto|title=Ejercicio de Resistencia Tania Bruguera|year=2003|publisher=Torino|location=Turin, Italy|page=25}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|last=Pinto|first=Roberto|title=Ejercicio de Resistencia Tania Bruguera|year=2003|publisher=Galeria Soffiantino|location=Turin, Italy|pages=25–26}}</ref>

[[Regina José Galindo]] is a Guatemalan artist specialized in performance art. Her work is characterized by its explicit political and critical content, using her own body as a tool of confrontation and social transformation.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://puntadassubversivas.wordpress.com/2016/04/02/conversacion-con-regina-jose-galindo/|title=Conversaciones con Regina José Galindo|date=April 2, 2016|access-date=May 26, 2020}}</ref> Her artistic career has been marked by the Guatemalan Civil War that took place from 1960 to 1996, which triggered a genocide of more than 200 thousand people, many of them indigenous, farmers, women and children.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://www.plataformadeartecontemporaneo.com/pac/woman-art-house-regina-jose-galindo/|title=Woman Art House: Regina José Galindo -|access-date=May 26, 2020|date=April 20, 2018|website=Plataforma de Arte Contemporáneo}}</ref> With her work, Galindo denounces violence, sexism (one of her the main topics is femicide), the western beauty standards, the repression of the estates and the abuse of power, especially in the context of her country, even though her language transgresses borders. Since her beginnings she only used her body as media, which she occasionally takes to extreme situations (like in ''Himenoplasty'' (2004) where she goes through a hymen reconstruction, a work that won the Golden Lyon in the [[Venice Biennale]]), to later have volunteers or hired people to interact with her, so that she loses control over the action.<ref name="c4ae0e89">{{Cite web|url=https://poetassigloveintiuno.blogspot.com.es/2012/08/7515-regina-jose-galindo.html|title=Poetas siglo XXI: Regina José Galindo|date=August 23, 2012 |access-date=June 5, 2020}}</ref>
