Teresa Hernández is a transdisciplinary Puerto Rican artist (performance-theatre-dance-video) whose work emerges from and refers to the thinking body in continuous motion. She has more than thirty years of experience as a creator-researcher, producer, and director, during which time she has presented—in the Puerto Rican archipelago and abroad—more than fifty pieces, interventions, and actions.

As Producciones Teresa, no inc., she has developed a solo practice challenging the art market through the work of an unincorporated, independent and small art form. Her site-specific performances have been part of exhibitions outside her country. Her work is nourished and determined by the adverse, the uncertain and the circumstantial, addressing in various ways the colonial condition of her country and region, the patriarchal and capitalist footprint, ecological deterioration and the transformative resistance of nature. Her performative writing has been published in various local and international publications. She also has extensive experience as an educator for heterogeneous sociocultural spaces. Her work has been recognised by: Sally Van Lier Foundation (1993); Institute of Puerto Rican Culture (1994, 2020); USA Foundation (Rolón Fellow 2011); Art Matters Foundation (2018), Beta Local (2017-2020), PRAI (2020-2022;2026) and Beca Letras Boricuas (2025).
