Guadalupe Maravilla is a transdisciplinary visual artist, choreographer, and healer. At the age of eight, Maravilla was part of the first wave of unaccompanied, undocumented children to arrive at the United States border in the 1980s as a result of the Salvadoran Civil War. As an acknowledgement of his own migratory past, Maravilla grounds his practice in the historical and contemporary contexts of immigrant culture, particularly those belonging to Latinx communities. Maravilla currently lives in Brooklyn, New York. Maravilla was awarded the 2021 Joan Mitchell Fellowship, and the Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship in 2019. He has exhibited and performed in major museums such as the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Institute of Contemporary Art Miami and many more. His work is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, ICA Miami, and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía.
