Interdisciplinary artist/writer Guillermo Gomez-Pena was
born in Mexico City and came to the US in 1978. Since then he has been
exploring cross-cultural issues with the use of performance, multilingual
poetry, journalism, video, radio, and installation art. His performance
work and critical writings have helped develop debates on cultural
diversity, identity, and US-Mexico relations. A collection of his
writings was recently published by Greywolf Press under the title Warrior
for Gringostroika. Gomez-Pena is the recipient of a 1991 MacArthur
Fellowship and a 1989 Bessie Award; his work has been featured
internationally at the 1992 Sydney Biennale, as well as the 1993 Whitney
Biennale and the Brooklyn Academy of Music's Next Wave Festival, among
many others. Gomez-Pena was a founding member of the Border Arts
Workshop/Taller de Arte Fronterizo, a contributor to the national radio
program Crossroads, and the editor of the experimental arts
magazine The Broken Line/La Lunea Quebrada.
