Josephine Turalba,  born in Manila, Philippines in 1965, holds an M.F.A. degree in New Media and Digital Arts from Transart Institute at Donau-Universität Krems, Austria, and a B.A. in Psychology from University of the Philippines, Diliman.

Josephine is an interdisciplinary installation artist who incorporates video, sculpture, performance and sound into her artworks. Her interdisciplinary projects take a visceral approach to the politics of violence focusing on the workings of personal trauma, depicting traces and spaces, a place where empathy translates into healing. She is in constant inquiry into human behavior and its context. Working sometimes with land documents, Turalba explores both geography and time in her art and how those relate to her personal and collective identity.

Her work is widely exhibited. Turalba took part of Personal Structures exhibition, during the 56th Venice Biennale, the Santorini Biennale, Greece, 2012; The Pier-2 Art Center, Kaohsiung, Taiwan, 2012; La Cinematheque Francaise, Paris, France 2012; Werkstatt der Kulturen, Berlin, Germany, 2012; École des Beaux-Arts, Paris, France, 2012; The Yuchengco Museum, Manila, 2011; South Hill Park, Bracknel, UK, 2011; KIT Kunst-im-Tunnel, Düsseldorf, Germany, 2011; The 12th Cairo Biennale, Egypt, 2010; Malta Contemporary Art Center, 2009 and the Lopez Museum, Manila, Philippines in 2013, 2007 and in 1992.
