Doris Salcedo Salcedo
Colômbia

Doris Salcedo was born in Bogotá, Colombia, in 1958. She studied Arts at the University of Bogotá Jorge Tadeo Lozano, graduating in 1980, and completed a Master’s degree at New York University in 1984. Most of her sculptures and installations, such as Shibboleth, have as their starting point the experience of the excluded and marginalized, victims of political and social violence. Some of her works start from particular historical events. Many of them are the result of collective undertakings in collaboration with architects, engineers and assistants, which is Shibboleth’s case.
