Hina Vagina (Palau-solità i Plegamans, 1994) is the artistic name of Judit Chulià Orduña, a hybrid artist who articulates her practice from a conception of the body as a space of resistance, wear, and transformation. Her work is situated within an expanded field encompassing painting, performance, installation, and video, through which she examines the frictions between intimacy and exposure, labor precarity and structural exhaustion, as well as the processes by which these dynamics are inscribed onto contemporary bodies.
Her research positions fragility and fatigue as aesthetic and political categories, understanding them not only as individual affects but as material and symbolic regimes. Precarity appears as a force that exceeds the economic sphere, infiltrating the skin, the gesture, and language. Within this framework, her work proposes a fissure between spirituality and everyday life: a persistence of the mystical traversed by capital and strained by the contradictions of the present.
The adoption of the name “Hina,” in reference to the lunar goddess of Polynesian mythology, is assumed from a self-critical position that incorporates the problem of cultural appropriation as a conceptual axis. This awareness does not operate as justification, but as a site of enunciation: inhabiting contradiction, problematizing the colonial legacies embedded in imaginaries, and analyzing how logics of invasion persist in desires and in forms of representation.
She is currently pursuing a BA in Arts at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya and has expanded her training in performance and autobiographical art, with experiences such as a workshop with Abel Azcona and participation in the Territorio Ibiza Performance Art Festival. Her work has been presented in festivals, residencies, and group exhibitions in national and international contexts, in venues such as La Virreina, Casa Velázquez, Centre d’Arts Santa Mònica, TPK Art i Pensament Contemporani, Museo Neomudéjar, and Roca Umbert Fàbrica de les Arts, among others, consolidating an emerging trajectory centered on the body as a critical device.
