Introducing Regina Torres Thompson
Regina Torres Thompson is a London-based Mexican artist working primarily with ceramics. Her practice explores the body as a shifting and unstable site of transformation, combining material experimentation with philosophical and conceptual research. Through sculptural forms, she investigates embodiment, hidden systems, and cosmological understandings of the body. She is currently undertaking a professional ceramics diploma at City Lit and is a resident artist at Culford Studios in London.
Before turning fully to the arts and humanities, Torres Thompson completed a Bachelor’s degree in Actuarial Science at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, where she engaged with formal logic and mathematical structures that continue to shape her approach to research and problem-solving. Her long-term practice of Aṣṭāṅga Vinyāsa yoga led her to the study of classical Sanskrit and yoga traditions, informing both her MA in Textual Traditions of Yoga and Meditation at SOAS, University of London, and her current MA in Indology at the University of Hamburg.
Torres Thompson has exhibited and sold work through platforms including the Margate Ceramics Market at Turner Contemporary, ST.ART Gallery, Casa Ágape, Warbling Collective Gallery, Culford Studios, and various North London Makers Markets. Alongside her artistic and academic work, she co-founded El Cuerpo del Yoga, a Latin American feminist research collective dedicated to critically exploring yoga, body politics, and decolonial thought.
