Antonia Hernández, PhD

I cultivate a practice where concepts have a potential for action. A disposition toward movement allows for the encounter between ideas and methods, which I apply to theoretical inquiries, artistic research, and academic settings. Formally, I engage with abstract matters through practices that disrupt habitual meanings, using humor, play, poetry, or performative interventions as methods, re-signifying the seemingly stable through unexpected uses or contexts. Through an original combination of critical inquiry and creative practice, I have contributed to media studies and artistic research by investigating technologies of intimacy, the poetics of governance, and research-creation methods. These contributions have been expressed through publications, artwork and media outcomes, presentations, the establishment of international research networks, and community engagement.
