Priscilla Monge

Priscilla Monge is a post-media artist who has been pursuing her career since the mid-1980s in a context in which patriarchal structures were the main basis of social behavior, also being one of the most outstanding female figures of contemporary Latin American art.

In her works she explores the power relations that exist in the female body as a catalyst for politics where femininity, in particular, operates as an effective way to discipline the female body. Other aspects of her work focus on the presence of violence in everyday life and on the often invisible junctures between aggression, pleasure, love and tenderness.

Priscilla Monge's artist's book "Healing Surfaces" incorporates texts associated with emotions felt by artists during the pandemic. It combines darker references to illness and death.
