Guadalupe Maravilla (b. 1976) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work—spanning sculpture, painting, performance, and installation—interweaves activism and healing. Drawing on his own experience as an unaccompanied, undocumented child migrating to the U.S. during the Salvadoran Civil War and later surviving cancer, Maravilla explores how systemic violence and displacement manifest in the body.
His work is held in major collections including the Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim Museum, the Whitney Museum, and Museo Reina Sofía, among others, and he has received numerous honors such as a Guggenheim Fellowship and a Creative Capital Grant. Maravilla has presented solo exhibitions at MoMA, the Brooklyn Museum, ICA Miami, and ICA Boston, where his immersive installation Mariposa Relámpago (2023–24) is now touring multiple venues. Recent group exhibitions include the Liverpool Biennial, the Gwangju Biennale, and
Crip Time at the Museum für Moderne Kunst. His current solo shows include Les soñadores at REDCAT in Los Angeles.
