Jessica Hernandez (she/her) is a DJ, sound artist, and curator. In terms of visual art, her interests include sculpture, installation, and textiles. She is also drawn to work that relates to archives, engages with text, and explores the ontology of objects, Blackness, and the Caribbean. As a musician and sound artist, her practice relies on the heavy processing of found samples and field recordings, often utilizing the sounds of industrial objects and materials for their sonic depth, brooding character, and conceptual resonances. In 2024, she and Aaron Michael Smith founded Transporter, an experimental music series located at the Boston Cyberarts Gallery. With Lori Martinez, she organizes WWL — a working group for queer and non-binary musicians. She runs Project One, a mix series mostly dedicated to techno. She graduated with a B.A. in Peace Conflict Studies in 2020 and an M.A. in History at the University of Virginia in 2022. She began working with UVA in 2022 and became Managing Director in 2024.
