Gabriela Reyna: Things of Female

Gabriela Reyna was born in Havana in 1991. She graduated from the University of the Arts of Cuba in 2016 and has served as a professor of sculpture at the San Alejandro Academy since 2022. Based in Havana, her work investigates female identity, domestic space, and the body as a lived political territory.

Her work is held in collections in Cuba and internationally, including the National Museum of Fine Arts in Havana and the private collection of Jorge M. Pérez in Miami. She is represented by Galería Servando, Havana, and was selected for the Haifa Mediterranean Biennial, Videonale #1: Image of Happiness, in 2023. Recent presentations include El Baño at Simard Bilodeau Contemporary, Los Angeles, El Motivo at Galería Acacia, and Atravesar el Caribe a la sombra de una ceiba at the Centro Wifredo Lam.

“The wardrobe is a manifesto where the everyday is transfigured into a critical gesture.”
