Nadia Hernández

Nadia Hernández works across visual art, sound and collaborative practices exploring socio-political themes through memory, memorialisation, constructions of identity, and relationships to place. Shaped by her position as a Venezuelan woman within the diaspora and beyond, Hernández’s work engages with global issues of migration, exile and displacement, weaving alternative narratives that challenge dominant histories.

Hernández was selected for the prestigious 2024 Fountainhead Residency in Miami, Florida, after which she presented a major public work at the Oslo Freedom Forum, in partnership with the Human Rights Foundation. She was a finalist in both the Ramsay Art Prize (2023), Australia’s most prestigious art prize, and the Sir John Sulman Prize (2023, 2024). In 2022 she was included in the Macfarlane Commissions exhibition at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA). In 2025, Hernández presented within the TarraWarra Biennial, curated by Kimberley Moulton, and Art Basel Hong Kong’s Encounters sector curated by Alexie Glass-Kantor.
