Regina José Galindo’s work is a clarification of the violence inflicted upon women’s bodies in today’s world, and more specifically in Central America. At the same time Galindo states, "I’m a woman and, as such, I can’t un-attach myself from the term "feminist". However, not all my work is only about this. In many cases, I work on pain and human emotions from a universal point of view. We are all the same and feel the same, regardless of our gender or geographic location."
