Ana Hernández

Ana Hernández (Santo Domingo Tehuantepec, Oaxaca, Mexico, 1991) is a Mexican visual artist whose practice focuses on traditional dress from the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, contemporary textile art, community memory, and cultural identity. Her work explores ancestral knowledge from southern Mexico through printmaking, woodcut, and traditional textile processes. Through a critical and situated perspective, Hernández reclaims Indigenous visual languages and collective practices connected to territory, migration, and material culture. Educated at the Escuela de Bellas Artes de Oaxaca, with further studies at CEACO and the Instituto de Artes Gráficas de Oaxaca (IAGO), her practice engages with contemporary Latin American art from a decolonial framework. She has exhibited at institutions such as the Museo del Palacio de Bellas Artes and Museo Universitario del Chopo in Mexico City, as well as the National Museum of Mexican Art in Chicago. Her work addresses intergenerational transmission, textile archives, and the tensions between tradition and modernity within a globalized context.
