Hana Bibliowicz was born in Colombia, to Polish and Mexican Jewish parents. She grew up in a multicultural environment in the '50s and '60s, at a time of constant upheaval in Latin America, when the distance between social classes was huge and liberation theology was at its height.

She obtained her Bachelor degree from Albany State University and her Masters in Sculpture from San Francisco State University. In her youth, she encountered anthropology, ceramics, the civil rights movement, the women’s movement and the anti-war movement, all of which has informed her work. The impression left on her by those years is the root of who she is as an artist, giving her social consciousness, a broad look at humanity and a fundamental understanding of sculpture as a portrait of culture.

Hana has participated in numerous shows, both in Colombia and the United States, including her three major installations: “Reconstruction XX’s Century”, “Sex-Text” and “Urban Dwellers,”, all massive works that entailed many tons of materials and the participation of many volunteers. Over the years, her work has transformed the artist’s role to that of a midwife, by designing projects that allow people and their culture to participate as the co-creators of the work, activating the space of creation together.
